The Block Magazine 2012 has hit Australian newsstands, as Blockheads around the country prepare for the auction of the year.

Edited by Belle Editor-in-Chief and The Block judge, Neale Whitaker, the 148-page definitive companion to the hit TV series features 48 pages of the 2012 houses — room by room — with all product and furniture details, styling tips and hints as well as judges' comments.

The magazine also includes behind-the-scenes gossip, renovating and real estate hints, tips to help you recreate the Blockheads' best styling ideas, and 'OMG' moments, in which the Block couples reveal their worst off- and on-camera incidents."

The magazine's release follows the success of last year's special issue.

"Last year fans couldn't get enough of The Block on-air or in-print with The Block Magazine one-shot selling out within days," Neale says.

We knew we had to rise to the challenge again in 2012 and in the process we've delivered all the inside information and inspiration Blockaholics need to get renovating and recreate their favourite Block looks.

The magazine also gives readers the chance to win a $10,000 designer furniture package from Matt Blatt. Click here for the full terms and conditions.
