Minecraft: Construction Handbook: an Official Mojang Book Hardcover – August 26, 2014

My girls have recently gotten into Minecraft on their iPad Minis and have been completely obsessed. They want to play all the time. Most of the time they are just messing around on it. We asked them if they would be interested in some books about Minecraft and they jumped at the chance. We purchased the Minecraft Essential Handbook and the Minecraft Construction Handbook for them and they loved them. They share the books back and forth and flip through them to get ideas for building things. They are using the iPad Pocket Edition that doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the PC version has, but these books are still good for general guidance and ideas. They are great beginner books to get them thinking about other things they can create. There are three other official books and a compilation of all of them if you want even more. If you have a beginner at Minecraft, these books are worth a look.

I bought this for my 10 yr old son who is a minecraft building fanatic. He plays on xbox 360 and the creative mode, so he was more interested in how to build unique structures than in how to survive. I checked this book out at the local bookstore that was selling it for 7.99 just to see what it all encompassed and it seemed like it would be informative and that he'd like it...but I purchased it for him for Christmas on Amazon...can't beat that Prime!Verdict: He LOVES it! It's helped him build different unique structures, a huge Golden Gate Bridge style structure and several other buildings...He loved it so much he was bugging me to get the Redstone book....which I'll review shortly! He also liked the hardback version- they sell them on Scholastic books through his school, but only the softbacking- and since he uses it so much, he prefers the sturdiness of hardback.

This was purchased for a 7 year old that loves Minecraft. It is a great reference while playing the game. Definitely a must for Minecraft kid. This was a Christmas present. I should have got them all one as it was the most "shared" gift- even above the electronics!If you have a Minecraft addict like I do- this makes a great gift!If your kid plays Minecraft and is obsessed with watching YouTube tutorials on how to build his world then these will help

My son is so thrilled with his book after a month wait. I am glad that he is happy. The condition is great & delivered with care. Thank you seller 👍

I bought this because It was cheaper than the new one, and it is still on good shape 😆, it is a short book actually, I recommended to buy it pre own at least you need it or want it new.

Bought these for my 8 year old because she likes to play Minecraft. Nothing in here you can't find on the internet but I thought this would encourage more reading since its a subject she likes. She reads these books (we have the whole set) almost daily. These are great in that aspect. They are hardcover and actually well made for the price. I'm fully satisfied.

My Grandson borrowed this book (paperback) from his 2nd grade classrooom. He loves the game and works really hard to read all the information in the different books. I'm very impressed with this hard cover and know it will out last all the others he's collected.

Gorgeous book series. not TOO pricey. Awesome for the diehard fan. Awesome if you need a great novelty gift for grownups and kids alike. I'm buying every one as they are published for my young crafter (11 years old). NOT really any SECRET INFORMATION... just a really great way to present it in a fabulous little book! That is also a series that would be a nice set someday!
