Brick Fetish (def.)
is a narrative timeline of the history of LEGO®: the company, their toys and the Kirk Christiansen
family (q.v.).
It is also a repository of set images, catalogs, ads and promotional literature, idea books, patents, photographs,
and pretty much anything else I can get my hands on.
See the table of contents (← to your left) for more information. If you are still looking where to start, try the
beginning, or, for the really good stuff, try the Archive.
Third Edition, Third printing, with additions and corrections.
