I notice that yours is in Swedish (I assume).

That's correct.

I have a complete (mint) copy of
this book in German, as well as a few pages from an "international"
version that has no writing.

Lucky you!

If
you want to see what the cover of this book looks like, look at your
fellow Swede - Tore Erikkson's website.  There is a Swedish magazine
article dated 1960 that shows this same book:

http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Launchpad/4405/scans/lka_6038. • jpg

(That's Eriksson I think)

I really don't remember if it looked like that, but it's possible...
I notice the page is from the Swedish 'Donald Duck', this magazine
still exists, and Lego is still advertising in it!

Also, your book is missing a few pages in the back where you would • find
a copy of the Empire State Building, a European Embassy, a School, • and
a modern church.


Yeah, I know :-( I have the page with the modern church (just forgot
to take a pic), but the last one (inside back cover) is missing (as
the whole cover). I remember the Empire State Building... I'm also
missing two pages in the middle (9b, 10a), with animals/mosaic.

Any chance you could fix some scans of those missing pages, and send
me/tell me where to find them - I would love to have them all!


I love this book.


So do I. It was this book, my kids (and Gryphon Bricks) that made me
start creating the BlockCAD program - the goal is to recreate all the
models, in the book, with BlockCAD (no, not the models in the photos!
Only the right-hand pages).
