Where to start? How about the definition of book to open with. Seriously. Then some random facts of no real importance, a discussion of a few odd types of books, for no clear reason, then just a random list. Why define what a puzzle book is if you then list books by theme, so we can't tell which ones are puzzle books? Sigh. I'll try and clean it up or something. CJC95 (talk) 21:24, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Factual issues
  • "The LEGO Company has released many books since 1995." - no source. LEGO released books earlier than this.
  • "Their earliest books were Idea Books, with ideas mainly for the core themes (Town, Space, and Castle)." - The Ideas Books page lists books from the 70s and 80s. So that is the first fact squashed, unless the useful information is meant to be "many". Also, the bit about core themes has no basis in fact
  • "Since 1999, The LEGO Group have exclusively used DK Publishing, Inc. for all books released relating to LEGO System." - no source. True for reference books - not sure if its true for say, story books - weren't some of them Scholastic?

Descriptive sections

There is interest in listing all the reference guides and stuff. The sections still need clean up, and updating to say, contain information on things that have happened since 2004. CJC95 (talk) 21:49, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

List

How do we want to list? By theme? By type? By year? Do we want lists of each, which would be nice but never be maintained? CJC95 (talk) 21:49, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
