Finally, someone gets it right, every full color photo page is exactly that, full page, no interruptions. There's a 6 page introduction and a 5 page short descriptive paragraph regarding each page. Meanwhile, the book shines with it excellent mix of close up photos of exterior shots, interior and some detail photos such as stained glass and one of a chair in a room. Man, if this book was large, whew doggy, it'd be what I've been looking for all along while I've been building my big FLW photo book collection with inexpensive purchases. I can't find one of the large books where main content, like this book, say 4/5's of the pages, are dedicated to color photos that take up the entire page and 17 are 2 full faceing pages of one big photo mostly interior shots. That is the way to go with this subject. Let it shine. This is a total 5 star masterpiece if it's twice the size. As it is, it's well worth owning for the high quality photos and how they completely take over the pages. It's a shame the binding prevents a full flattening of the photos, a minor complaint. I'm glad I own it. chrisbct@hotmail.com

There are some of the best of the photos of Wright's work in this book, After seeing this work, Edgar Kaufmann, jr. hired Heinz to take the photos for his Fallingwater coffee table book.

Aparently the Reader from California has copied this review on to several of Mr. Heinz's book pages. This review does not seem to be appropriate to this book. This can easily be determined by simply looking at the three wonderful photos of the Hollyhock house. None of them are upside down. None of the 100 photos are mis-identified. These are wonderful photographs and this may be the first of Mr. Heinz's 20 some books, all are delight to have and look through.

Mr. Heinz, we want more of your work, keep at it.
