LEGO Book

DK Publishers recently released a boxed set: The LEGO Book, all about the hobby and another about minifigs (celebrating their 30th anniversary). There is a lot of great information about the company, the various sets, the Legoland parks, and more. Perhaps coolest of all is the inclusion of (a few) fan MOCs. From the MicroBricks viewpoint, they include pictures of the line of LEGO Architecture sets designed by Adam Reed Tucker and also a discussion of the 2005 contest that started off the LEGO Factory line. They challenged fans to design microscale MOCs and the winners were released as official sets.

Gundam

I'm actually not sure if all of Superb's MOCs are from the Gundam series, as one looks like Space Battleship Yamamoto. I don't really follow anime at all, but these are very cool little ships.
