I'm a big fan of Frank Lloyd Wright's work and this is a great compilation of his drawings and philosophy. If you've seen his exhibit displayed at the Guggenheim, many of those works are captured in this book. It goes into detail on his concepts and buildings he's built during his lifetime.

If you were lucky enough to see the Frank Lloyd Wright show at the Guggenhiem Museum in New York, you would know what to expect in this tome. The show picked a few of his projects, built and unbuilt, and did an excellent job of research on those buildings and showed comparisons with others of his work. This book is not for the casual Wright devotee but one who wants to get some depth in their understanding of his work.

This book was sent in the same box as another, with the box somehow becoming contaminated with a fine black powder (soot?). Although the other book suffered, this one did not as it was tightly wrapped in plastic shrink wrap.
