Book Reviews of Frank Lloyd Wright The Houses
Book Review: Frank Lloyd Wright - The Houses
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this is not only a beautiful book but an excellent reference source for anyone who is interested in F. L. Wright's dynamic works. I have just one complaint: why did they NOT identify the front and back inside cover photographs of the Lykes House in Phoenix--everything else was carefully listed in the credits. If one didn't know, he/she would have to dig through the entire book to find which house was important enough to show so prominently but not enough for credits where other houses with just one picture were listed. This is indeed an omission that should be corrected on later editions.Book Review: Best Wright House Photos!
Summary: 5 Stars
I honestly do not know how many Wright books I have(40-50?). There are better photos of one house like Fallingwater in specific books devoted to one house, but that being said, this is the best book of photos of Wright Houses, particularly Usonian houses that I have ever seen. It is simply stunning. Even the site photographs are magnificent. When you compare the houses that have been moved from their original site(Pope-Leighy, Gordon)to those that have not it makes the genius of Wright even more amazing.
If you are a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, do not miss this!!
Book Review: Clear, concise overview of Wright's architectural designs
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a wonderful eye opener. It will appeal to the reader for crisp pictures in beautiful settings and landscapes as well as the various style phases Wright went through architecturally. For Wright aficionados, there is a detailed, but not too intense history of his style, works and personal history as he changes design elememts during his career. Grand interior shots only enhance the overall attraction. The book will add diversity to anyone's collection.Book Review: A Beautiful Tribute
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading Loving Frank, my daughter asked for this book for Christmas. When it arrived and I looked through it, I knew she would love it. It is truly a collector's item. The photos and text are captivating. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone who is even slightly interested in Frank Lloyd Wright.Book Review: Superb
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for fans of FLW. We visited his house when we were on vacation in Chicago and saw several of the other homes he had designed. This book is full of superb photographs - not just of the exteriors but of the interiors too, so you can see the furniture and fixtures that he designed.
