Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Virtually every structure that Wright built is represented in this extensive survey of his life's work. His genius at architectural design enable him to work out extremely complex buildings in his head and translate them on to paper in a matter of hours, as the famous story of his design presentation of Falling Water illustrates. His work continues to draw great admiration and interest to this day. His often tempestuous and sometimes tragic life and career are given full coverage in this book. Hundreds of photos, both archival and recent chart his amazing work and influence on all who followed. Thomas A. Heinz is a noted Chicago area architect as well as a writer and leading authority on the work of Wright. Among other works, he has written FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT INTERIORS AND FURNITURE (1994)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great, Big book on all of Wright, December 29, 2000
By A Customer
Heinz has certainly done it again, written a book, a great, big book with great photos of every one of the buildings and has expanded on this by including a short biographical chapter and more photos and information on Stained Glass and Furniture.

This 450 page book is the first to show all the buildings in color. The text is casual and refresingly non-academic. It talks about the people behind the buildings more than the buildings. How often have you read about the red brick and the six second floor windows, things that you can easily see in the illustration? This biographical information on the clients of Wright is fascinating and holds your attention as do the compelling photos.

I don't know how they can get the price of this book down so low with the great quality of the reproductions but I hope there are more of Heinz's books like this one. On the otherhand, how can there be much more. I read that Heinz has 80,000 photos so I guess we have not seen them all, yet. This one is great and I hope Heinz keeps at it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect, August 28, 2006
Just got this book - actually the 2002 B&N edition but seems about identical to the edition here. Marvelous photos - considerably better quality than those in Heinz' far more expensive book with all the Wright building locations in detail. Yes, wish EVERY Wright building were here, but close. Have found a few errors in index, etc. but pretty darned good. I'd like to have seen that auto showroom in Manhattan, for example. Well, Heinz doesn't claim to have included everything in this one. Some sort of listing by nation and then state, at least, would have been helpful. Yes, some buildings are referred to with no photo, and then at least one, the Rosenbaum house in Alabama, is in the "Decorative Arts" section but not the main color section (as far as I've found so far).
One silly error: Anderton Court Shops, p. 340 is surely in reverse, as is so clear with the shops' signs backwards! Wonder how that got by.... Will have to check if that Fallingwater photo was corrected for this edition.
All in all a marvelous book with exquisite photos and very well written with stimulating text (for this sort of book - not aiming at the true FLW scholar but just fine for the serious afficianado, which I sure am!).
Incidentally, the first house I ever lived in was on the street in Rochester where the Boynton house is situated - so I have a slightly personal connection with the genius, I've always felt. Great photos of the house here but I'm not so happy the exterior one shows the rear (and doesn't identify it as such, either).

4.0 out of 5 stars complete for the price, August 14, 2001
By Pierre HENON "tutti libri" (charleville-mezieres, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Maybe the most complete book on Frank Lloyd Wright but despite the numerous photos, the quality is equal to the price. Some pictures like Guggenheim Museum are quite poor. Despite this it's a good book especially for the price.

Many rave reviews of books by Mr. Heinz seem to be "ringers", perhaps written by the publisher or Mr. Heinz himself. How can you tell a "ringer"? Read more
