I need book suggestions, im not gonna say what kind of book I want, because I don't know what i want.
So just write the name of the book,how good it is and if its for beginners or more advanced people.
I hope this topic wasn't discussed before(I searched and didn't find anything related).
Thank you

This book: http://discovery.laurensvalk.com/ is wonderful to get you started building very cool robots and programming them in NXT-G. I can really recommend it.

I agree with the recommendation of Laurens Valk book. I found some very good ideas here as I started building.
For programming, as my background is with 'C', and I tend to think in 'C', I usually use NXC. I like the books
Lego Mindstorms NXT Power Programming by John Hansen, which covers the basics of NXC and Creating
Cool Mindstorms NXT Robots by Daniele Benedettelli, which had some programming examples that really helped
me. This was in the areas of mullti-threaded programs, and sensors. The Benedettelli book also has some very
interesting robots to build. These robots are about at an intermediate level.

I just finished working through The Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT-G Programming by Terry Griffin. I highly recommend it for learning how to use NXT-G, especially for people who haven't had much (or any) programming experience.
