And a good one. All I can say is, I agree. I've seen Mindstorms books in
brick and mortar stores, why not an Idea Book of some kind? If not the
Designer Sets book, then a more generalized one? I realize the Mindstorms
books aren't LEGO company items, but they did put out the Ultimate LEGO
book, so there is precedent for a book-type product to be released.
