• New enough, long enough, and neutral if a tad quote-heavy. Sources are good although many are on the short side. The hook is sourced (if not the main focus of the piece... which is a bit sus researched in general, the Guardian article mention Mindstorms approvingly but that was one of the things Knudstorp cut as money-losing?!) I made some edits - feel free to adjust if you disagree, I don't think they were so major as to impede the ability to review. QPQ is done.
• While this is DYKN not GAN, in the realm of more subjective issues, there are currently just three sentences on Content. Granted, the last time I nominated a book for DYK reviewers complained that there was too much content so maybe I'm not a median source here, but this seems a bit shallow, merely verifying this is a book on Lego's business turnaround. Do Breen & Robertson have anything deeper to say? Not asking for a huge expansion or anything, but even a small one might help.
• (As side chatter, I got to see Knudstorp speak once, although inexplicably no one has taken a better photograph than my blurry 2010 one yet. Interesting fellow.)
• Anyway, in querying, I think the hook may be a little too mysterious by only saying "a 2013 book". I'm personally a fan of not forcing hovers (which don't work on mobile) to find out where a link will go. Any thoughts on this alternative hook that spells out the name of the book?
