Very, very nice photography
As soon as I opened the book, I knew this was what I expected. Lovely photography, very well staged furniture and well lit, which is important in Frank Lloyd Wright homes. You see the furniture in all it's splendour.For anybody loving his architecture, this is a lovely book, to look at his art of furniture design.

Great coffeetable book
This book has great pictures highlighting some lovely rooms in Frank Lloyd Wright houses. Organized by style and printed with descriptions, the book is great for anyone who owns a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired home or is interested in his designs.

Good use of the full size of the book for big photos
A very natural companion book to 50 Favorite Houses by FLW by the same author. I think I prefer this one. It's not often I see photos of the interior of the Marin County Civic Center though there's just one. Despite there being 22 different photographers or souces for photos, they're all credited for 1998, the year the book was printed. This could explain why almost every interior shot appears to have, as much as possible, the same camera angle, that is, to include the ceiling and floors. It gives a feeling of first walking into a room. For some reason I like this book a little better than the 50 Favorite Houses one. Not sure why, maybe it's the rich natural wood colors of his interiors while all the homes in the other book are not as dramatic in color and bright detail as these rooms are. Both are worth having if you can get them at less than full price, which, thankfully, is one of the great strengths of this site. The author does a nice job with her medium sized column of information that is on the facing page of each entry. I'm always a happy FLW big color photo book owner when the book has every single photo (except one of FLW) take up the entire page and maybe half of them also covering a third of the facing page. That's what I want in such books, big color photos of his work taking up as much of the page as possible. Worth it owning this lovely book. [email protected]

leaves you wanting more
I think this book tries to do too much in too few pages. It really needs more space to capture that beauty of Frank Lloyd Wright's rooms. It is still a great book with very nice pictures but just not enough of it. I think you would be better off investing in a more substantial book that has the space to do this work justice. I think 50 rooms was too ambitious.
