2.0 out of 5 stars Nice - but outgunned and outclassed, March 4, 1999
By A Customer
There is nothing wrong with this book. In fact, it is a good value for the price. The problem is that this book is a handgun blasted apart by a cannon. The cannon is the larger, heavier, more expensive (but well worth it) book on Fallingwater by Edgar Kaufman Jr. (Wright's pupil and son of the client).

For a less expensive gift - this is the book.

For yourself, a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, or a lover of Fallingwater; invest in the cannon - it will blow you away!

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely tribute to an architectural masterpiece, March 27, 2001
"Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater," by Carla Lind, is one of a series of books that celebrate the work of this visionary architect. This volume in the series is devoted to Fallingwater, the amazing modern house designed by Wright in 1935 for Liliane and Edgar J. Kaufmann. This is a "mini-book," but despite its small size, it is an impressive tribute to a landmark of home architecture.

Carla Lind's concise but informative text is complemented by many glorious full-color photographs of Fallingwater. There are both exterior and interior shots that capture many of the home's memorable features: the rough stone walls, the cantilevered balconies, the bold use of glass, the remarkable asymmetrical fireplaces, and more. There are also some fascinating black-and-white historical photos.

Lind also includes a bibliography and a chronology. The text is further complemented by a series of sidebar quotes from Wright, Edgar Kaufmann Jr., and others.

I have visited Fallingwater. It is a stunning architectural achievement which, I think, no book could completely capture. But Carla Lind has done a good job of celebrating the spirit of this remarkable house.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brief and Useful, January 4, 2007
By Sylvestor Dillane (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews
This book is very useful for giving you both a quick overview of Lloyd's approach and how Fallingwater manifests his work. The text is incisisive and despite its small size, the pictures are very good and instructive.
Of value before or after seeing the house.
