1: The greatest, most awesome book I ever purchased!
This book is absolutely amazing! I have never owned another book matching the caliber of this masterpiece. I don't think you even have to be a Frank Lloyd lover to appreciate this book. It is for everyone who can appreciate art, architecture, and learning through various ways about the genius of Wright. The book box cover, the carefully laid out plans and packets in the book illustrating the drafting and the various buildings this man created is fun and exciting. The CD is complementary in that it captures the essence of this man whose ego was the size of his largest creations----albeit he has every right to think himself the best architect who lived in the 19th and 20th centuries. If he were still with us, he would include the 21st century as a categorical imperative that he is/was the greatest architect of all time. Oh what a character he was, and oh what an absolute mind he beheld---and as genius of his craft he had all the right to be self righteous, egotistical and unapologetic. This is a downright amazing book. I am buying two, one to keep in perfect condition and the other to immerse myself in and learn and teach and adore. I will probably buy even more of this particular book as gifts--whether the person has no idea who FLW is or if they are professional architects themselves, all will be educated and enamored by it and it's accompaning accessories.

2: Beautiful compilation!
I saw this book and its inserts while browsing in the gift shop at Taliesin West. I couldn't buy it at that time because I didn't have any room to spare in my luggage for our flight home. I found it for a good price on Amazon, though, and ordered it as soon as I returned home. It's a beautiful book, with interesting text. The inserts, though, are what sold me on this book. The reproductions of correspondence, sketches and plans are so well done that some of them look original and authentic. It's a great addition to my library of books relating to Frank Lloyd Wright.

3: Frank Lloyd Wright Portfolio
This is a spectacular value - it gives an intimate glimpse into the life of a genius at work - can't imagine a better way to do it. And the price is way to low for the value received.

4: Great
As an Architect student, I love this book. I show all my friends how a real great mind works. Wright is my favorite architect, so when I was this it was a given ofr me to buy it. I highly suggest checking your local book store first, because I bought this EXACT one for 13 dollars.

5: Panoramica essenziale
Un buon libro in cui ?? racchiuso l'essenziale. Molto curato e fuori dal comune per la ricchezza di particolari. Un'ottima idea regalo per chi vuole avvicinarsi alle opere di Frank Lloyd Wright.
