There is actually a new book about the Thorpe Rooms being published on 27th February 2009
I searched Amazon and they will be selling it for around £20. Might be a good one to put on your birthday present list. I know I enjoyed reading how all the rooms came to be made.
Sounds interesting

Wow! That site is amazing. I stared at the pictures for ages, but couldn't find anything which gave the rooms away as miniatures! They are so detailed; it's incredible!

I may have to put the book on my present list for xmas...
