I want to tap this curiosity and help these people find our community's most
delicious mind candy.  I want to take them on a lavish pictorial excursion
into our world and show them who we are, what we do, and why we do it.

So I'm writing a book -- a coffee-table-style photo book with large, rich,
colorful photographs and text both biographical and narrative.  The gist of
the book is "adult LEGO enthusiasts and the amazing things they do and build
with LEGO," but it also covers offline social aspects such as events, clubs,
and gaming.  Titles under consideration include:

  Blockheads:  Regular People, Amazing Creations
  A LEGO Way of Life
  Masters of the Brick
  Artisans of Brick
  The Unsung Art of LEGO Building
  The Magic of LEGO Building

I like this last one more than the rest, but others have come up with more
good suggestions too.

Hope you can make it to Aus sometime - it'd be great to finally meet you!

I'm constantly amazed by all the great things people build with LEGO. Our eclectic hobby is a rich and expressive nexus of art, science, and humanity. I've often wished there were a simple way to share this amazement with people outside the hobby. (...)
