Thank you so much for offering this book. The info on how it came to be and background correspondence between Wright and the clients is very extinsive. I only regret the book dosen't give more photo's. The footnotes add a balance to the over all effect of the book. Anyone out there have more info on this house in Okemos Mich, please E-mail me at cdrhodes56@hotmail.com

This book is absolutely outstanding. The book involves in depth RESEARCH on the G-W House. It is written in University research style, which is lacking in today's typical architectural items. I have read the book 5 times. Every time I find something new an interesting. The book covers the first planning stages of the house, the construction/material phases, etc. Probably the most interesting fact was the story of the original owners (G + W) which makes the house so intriguing. Furthermore, it includes the G-W III house designed by E. Fay Jones (a onetime Wright apprentice). The only drawback is there are no photos of the bedrooms and gallery area of the house. Overall, I rate this book among the best of Wright Usonian house books!!!
