4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent guide book-good photos & maps, but....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Frank Lloyd Wright Field Guide: Upper Great Lakes; Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan (Paperback)
As tour coordinator at the H.F. Johnson House, Wingspread, I've met many Wright enthusiasts who rely on this guide when visiting the Midwest. The following incorrect information has been brought to my attention several times and we have notified the publisher in case the book is re-printed. I would still recommend the book as an excellent guide. Just be aware that the information on page 88 about "accessibility" to the Herbert F. Johnson House, Wingspread is incorrect. Wingspread is a Conference Center today and when conferences or meetings are not in session it is available for self-guided tours M-F, 9am to 4pm. Call the Wingspread Tour Coordinator(414)681-3353 to check availability.

Excellent reference for "Wright-Sighters",
By A Customer
This review is from: Frank Lloyd Wright Field Guide: Upper Great Lakes; Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan (Paperback)
An excellent reference book for Wright enthusiasts who enjoy hunting for his built works. Contains color pictures, addresses, local maps and even GPS coordinates to help travelers find Wright-designed buildings. Also contains several paragraphs of information plus a rating for each site. Aids travelers with limited amounts of time to focus on the best sites.
