DESCRIPTION:
It is a testament to Mr. "William Allin Storrer, a scholar who has written on Wright for a quarter-century, has produced the first true and complete catalogue raisonne of Wright's work, and it is stunning.He has taken the vast forest of Wright's built work and looked at it tree by tree, labeling each and every one of those trees thoroughly and intriguingly.

This is an indispensable guide to the entirety of Frank Lloyd Wright's work. I used it extensively on a tour of Wisconsin and the Chicago Suburbs.It is important to understand that the book is organized chronologically. As an example, it is not convenient to see all of the wright buildings in Madison, Wisconsin. I had to add paper bookmarks to the map of the Madison area near the back of the book, then use additional sticky notes . A. Knox said Good for historical background of houses. Nice for those wanting to know & understand the background on the individual homes/buildings. Not many pictures of the house/building layout/blueprints to get ideas for designs.
