Some more information on the next DK editor's works with the above visuals of three of them.

On the left, the cover of the one entitled Great LEGO Sets: A Visual History (39.93 on amazon.fr), scheduled for next October and which will list the best LEGO sets released since 1955:

Packed with stunning photography and fascinating facts, Great LEGO® Sets: A Visual History explores the history of LEGO sets in magnificent detail. The guide offers an expansive overview of the most significant, popular, and interesting play sets, featured in chronological order from 1955 to the present day.

Great LEGO Sets: A Visual History features the most beloved sets in the LEGO Group's long history, including much-loved classic 1980s LEGO Space and LEGO Castle sets and the latest stunning licensed themed sets, such as LEGO® Star Wars®.

Created in full collaboration with the LEGO Group and with profiles and quotes from LEGO designers, this captivating new book also comes with an exclusive retro-style LEGO set for readers to build.

In the center LEGO Awesome Ideas (200 pages - September 2015 - 24.94 € on amazon.fr) which will therefore be a collection of instructions:

LEGO® Awesome Ideas is an all-new ideas book that unlocks the secrets of LEGO building and shows fans how to create a world with their imagination. Beautifully clear photography and informative text demonstrates how entire models are built up while also providing step-by-step visual breakdowns and offering alternative ways to build models.

Explore each chapter as it steadily creates a themed world and ultimately showcases a dynamic diorama of the complete build, showing readers that they too can build up an entire LEGO world from scratch - model by model, brick by brick.

With creative model ideas and visual tips and techniques, LEGO Awesome Ideas will inspire anyone, from beginners to accomplished builders.

On the right a "beautiful book" of which you already know the author even if his name means nothing to you at first glance: Vesa Lehtimäki is better known under the pseudonym of Avanaut and you must have come across his magnificent photos at least once featuring minifigs and machines from the Star Wars universe (see his flickr gallery).

LEGO Star Wars Through A Lens will therefore probably be a collection of the best photos of Avanaut, who also works regularly for LEGO: He notably produced the promotional visuals for the LEGO The Hobbit range (see these articles).

Finally, the book LEGO: I Want That Minifigure (18.95 on amazon.fr), entirely dedicated to LEGO minifigs, will be accompanied by an exclusive minifigure, the description posted on amazon.com confirms this:

Have you ever wondered which LEGO® minifigure had the first double-sided head? Or which one was the first to have a printed torso or peg leg? Discover all the answers to these questions and more in DK's I Want That Minifigure!Meet more than 200 amazing LEGO minifigures and find out what makes each one special. With stunning images and informative annotations, this encyclopedia features the most unique minifigures in amazing detail - all accompanied by fascinating facts and trivia that bring them to life.

Perfect for LEGO fans and collectors of all ages, I Want That Minifigure! is the official guide to the rare and most desirable minifigures, and also comes with its own exclusive minifigure.
