Good things come in small packages, November 10, 2000
This review is from: Frank Lloyd Wright's Glass Designs (Wright at a Glance) (Hardcover)
I ordered this book to get glass design ideas for my new house. It's tiny but worth its weight in gold. Sharp photographs (32/57 pp.) and minimal description provide just what I needed.

This review is from: Frank Lloyd Wright's Glass Designs (Wright at a Glance) (Hardcover)
"Frank Lloyd Wright's Glass Designs," by Carla Lind, is one of a series of "mini-books" devoted to the work of one of the world's greatest architects. This volume, which explores Wright's interest in glass, contains many praiseworthy features: Lind's concise yet informative text, a wealth of stunning full-color photographs, fascinating sidebar quotes from Wright and others, and a useful bibliography for further reading.
The plentiful photographs truly capture the genius of Frank Lloyd Wright. We can see his bold work with colored glass and geometric patterns in windows of many different shapes and sizes. It's marvelous to see how each glass creation complements the larger architectural space of which it is a part.
Houses represented in the book include the Darwin Martin house, the Schaberg house, the Roberts house, and many more. But my favorite photograph is a breathtaking two-page spread of the second Jacobs house. If you love Wright, if you love glass, or if you love the art of home design, you will certainly love this excellent little book.

BEWARE - This book is physically tiny, February 4, 2004

This review is from: Frank Lloyd Wright's Glass Designs (Wright at a Glance) (Hardcover)
I obviously did not have read the reviews close enough. This is
a tiny book with pictures so small that it's useless to me.
