The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide Review
These is less about instructions (although there are a few) and more about the theory of Lego building.
It covers a lot of topics, from super mini models up to giant Lego blocks made of smaller Lego blocks. The downside to this approach is there is a lot of discussion of topics that not everyone is going to be interested in. I for one have no desire to build over-sized Lego blocks.
Still there's lots of good tidbits of information, and it reminds me as I introduce my daughter to Legos that not everything about building with Legos is self-evident.
I especially like the instructions for the train station which can be modified in lots of ways to make all sorts of buildings (My daughter and I made a pizza restaurant). I do wish there had been more of that.

Birthday present for my nephew - R. Spinner - Cleveland, OH
My 10 year old nephew is big into Legos, so I wanted to get him the perfect book. Seeing the index and pages on Amazon, I could tell that this book would give him the basics and move him toward engineering incredible structures. He was very happy to get it.
lego book - Daniel L. Friedman -
this was a nice book that my son does not look at
i continue to point him back to the book as it appears
useful in making your own plans.
Loved it - V. Sumner - Oregon
This is a back to the basics or what some call the tricks of the trade type book. I really enjoyed looking through it and learning new stuff. Great guide to all the pieces and naming conventions.
