The strength of this book is the glossy color photographs. It is great for browsing and seeing the scope of Wright’s work. You will see beautiful exteriors and interiors and some not very effective aerial shots.
It Is more of a dictionary than an encyclopedia. There are entries include people, projects, styles and places. There are entries for the states that have Wright buildings. All the entries are short, so there is not much info.
The reliance on bold type makes it hard to find the labels for the photos.
There is a chronology of all works with pages for those the book covers.
All the photos are in color on glossy paper of good quality. All the buildings and interiors are impressive.

A huge book full of pictures of wonderful Architecture..
What amazes me is that Frank Lloyd Wright doesn't have one signature in his buildings. Each one is different according to where it is and what suits the functions and needs for it. That is genuine Architecture!
