(Construction tips to general lego technic systems)
This is not a complete list as I think there are some new titles
coming out this year. Most of the books listed here are printed in full
color, i.e., color assembly instructions rendered in computer graphics
or
actual photos. I think in general the printing quality is much better
than
those English Lego Mindstorms titles.
At first I was quite surprised why there are so many Japanese Lego
Titles. Later I found that there was no Japanese edition of Mindstorms
1.0 & 1.5
instructions in the first place. It speaks for the prolifiration of
Japanese Lego Mindstorms titles.
With the opening of Amazon.co.jp, I think you should be able to find
them there
without much trouble. Even if you do not understand Japanese, the
construction
guides and the English programming codes speak for themselves.
I also have several English Lego Mindstorms books. It is interesting to
compare
the writing and book editing styles of American and Japanese authors.
