future Volume 2 for the years 1980's to 1990's).
The CD has these statistics:

European and USA page formats.
CD is also MAC compatible!!!!
____________________________

1980's, including many sets never before seen. Included some set/part images

The new Version 3 CD has new chapters on LEGO advertisements, LEGO department
store catalog exclusive sales, LEGO retailer display models, LEGO retailer
display items (shelves, showcases, signage, display stands, etc), LEGO toy
fairs, a chronological history of the LEGO logos, lots of new promotional items,
new never been seen prototypes, etc... all stuffed into a 2,092 page CD!!
