Nice sized, excellent photos including details that are often overlooked in books that only show a page or two per Wright building. Really the only complaint I have is that there are not large pictures. They do, however, just as on the cover, have a number of photos that extend from one end of the page to the next, long lengthwise which is very pleasing to the eye especially for exterior shots showing the homes in their context as well as highlighting the feel of the full expanse of a room. A very nicely done book.
Fantastic Concept
