St. Basil's Cathedral. The Arc de Triomphe. The Colosseum. The Empire State Building. These are among the dozens of iconic buildings and landmark structures featured in a new book from LEGO master builder Warren Elsmore.

In Brick City: Global Icons to Make from LEGO, Elsmore offers detailed yet simple instructions for building many of the world's most notable structures with LEGO, according to The Atlantic Cities' Sara Johnson.

Elsmore, who makes a living building LEGO exhibits for clients, provides step-by-step instructions for creating each model, including the number and type of pieces required for the build, and the size and scale of the model.

The book is now available on Amazon, which offers some preview screen shots:
