Brick Fetish

Jim Hughes' history-of-LEGO reference site is organized around a comprehensive LEGO timeline, from 1891 to 1968, with links to dozens of informative pages. For example, did you know LEGO's first patent was for a wooden pistol? Other pages chronicle the history of Modulex, a LEGO product for architects that was embraced by Eero Saarinen but few others. And the catalog archive, reproducing catalogs in numerous languages, is a valuable resource for collectors and fans alike.
