Customer Reviews

This is very nice as an introduction to FLW

80 pages. 12" tall x 9 1/2". Full of 70 color photos. And a coupla drawings, Mile High Illinois and Monona Terrace, quite well presented. 24 full page photos and 2 of those cover each facing page and another is a page and a half. Very nice use of the large size of the book that way. There are a number of individual paragraphs about his various buildings next to photos of those buildings. If you love large color photos of his work like I do, you'll want this book, particularly if you can get it for an economical price. A perfect book for a child or teenager or anyone who is looking for a good introduction to FLW. chrisbct@hotmail.com

Excellent introduction to the life and architecture of FLLW

Mr. Nash's book is full of wonderful color photographs and an in depth chronicle of events in Frank Lloyd Wrights(FLLW) life. The book describes the hardships Wright endured, how he got his start, his turbulent and tragic personal life, his bold architectural philosophy, his defiance of contemorary styles, and much more. Anyone interested in FLLW should take a look at this book. It offers both a great starting point for those interested in learning about the architect and a great reference for those who already know about him.
