Frank Lloyd Wright

I gave this book to my son for Christmas and was terribly disappointed and embarrassed to see that it was severely damaged. How could you possibly rate this book in good shape and sell it in good conscious? I kept the book to send back to you and hope that you will replace it with one that is not damaged and like new. Thank you.

this is a nice parlor book that illustrates some of the architectural genius of Frank Lloyd Wright. It's a bit short and small. It seems to be accurate in detail. I'd have selected some other architectural marvels than that which was chosen for inclusion in this book. The text does not go into much detail about any facet of the construction process nor does it provide detail about the psyche of the man. I'd give this a B+. Any book on FLW can't be bad, and this is generally a very fine book.

The photos fill about 58 straight pages with only a few taking up less than the full page. At the back there's 6 pages with miniture sized versions of the photos in the book with an accompanying informational couple of sentences. The photos are excellent with most being exterior shots but a few of specific furniture items, about 5 of chairs. There's a 12 page text only introduction that does a nice overview of the subject. I'm not sure why anyone makes a color photo book of FLW buildings that isn't 11" or larger but this is one sweet book. It's the quality of the photos and the full use of most of the pages with photos with no white paper borders to shrink the photos. It's a nice compliment to a big FLW photo book collection. Not essential, but pleasant.
