Comments

JP: Bought this for my dad for his birthday as FLW is his favorite architect. The book has some lesser known projects which are really cool. Great print quality, glossy pages, and hours of entertainment! Heavy sucker though

Richard B: This book was packed poorly, and one of the corners of the cover is smashed. The packers at Amazon threw it in a box with no packing to prevent it from sliding around.
As others have stated, the binding is a weak point.
The content is fascinating.

A: There is so much to discover in this book and there is a lot to look through. Unfortunately the quality of the binding is really poor. I am surprised that Rizzoli didn't do better.

Marshal Mueller: As I travel I am trying to visit Houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright that are open to the public as featured in the book Wright Sites by Joel Hoglund Ed. Many of the houses designed by Wright are not open to the public. This book Frank Lloyd Wright The Houses by Alan Hess allows Wright enthusiasts to see many of these homes. The photographs by Alan Weintraub are excellent and show the beauty of Wright designed spaces. This book surpassed my expectations. I thought it would be mainly pictures, which would at least allow me to experience non public Wright sites. The included copy is informative, especially concerning the evolution of Wright’s thinking. This is an excellent book for anyone interested in architecture.

j r s twigger: Wonderful book. So impressed. As everything you want to know about Frank Lloyd Wright. Fantastic pictures. A must for any fab of his work. But please note. This is a very heavy book.

Ka: I am very interested in the houses designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright. I have seen already many of his houses in the USA - from outside as well as from inside.
Therefore I was very happy to find a book with all houses which are still existing. The book is really marvellous - it shows each house from outside in its surrounding area - and most of them from inside with the beautiful furniture designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The book says where the houses are, when they were built, and for whom they were built.
Text and pictures are really fantastic.
I can recommend this book to all fans of Frank Lloyd Wright!
