Book Nook Venice

Enjoy Book Nook, a new type of set that can be displayed anywhere.

Displaying your Lego is part of the reason your are a lego fan. This new theme will allow you to display these sets on a bookshelf by keeping a standard 16 studs wide (5 inches, 12.9 cm), and 24 studs deep (7.8 inches, 19.8 cm). Of course, each set height will vary, but most are about 8 inches, 20.3 cm high. Each set also has two Technic bricks on each side, in standard locations, to allow Book Nooks to be linked together with two Technic pins.

The inspiration for this theme comes from the struggle involved with displaying Lego sets and MOCs in a way that all can be enjoyed. Instead of putting a Lego display in a back room, these set can be displayed and enjoyed on a book shelf in any room. And, with standardized footprint they can be displayed individually or linked together.

This specific submission is Book Nook Venice. Take a look at all of the Book Nooks submitted to the Bricklink Designer Program. By the close of the program there will be four (4) designs in this theme.

Take a Gondola trip down a quaint Venetian canal. Be sure to duck as you pass under the foot bridge. Enjoy the canal from the gondola, balcony, or bridge. The balconies are adorned with decretive surrounds and each has a lamp for romantic lighting.

Book Nook Venice is great to build and display, with 911 pieces, two minifigs, and a gondola mini build.

This Book Nook creation was inspired by photos scrolling past on my television. Over many weeks, the screen saver showed many different scenes in Italy, and the canal scene translated well to Book Nook.
