Title: Architectural Collections of the Library of Congress (Soft Cover) (Published by The Library of Congress, Washington D.C.)
Author: Peatross, C. Ford
Description: Reprinted from the July 1977, Quarterly Journal of the Library of Congress. Pages 28-29: "The careers of individual architects and firms may also be traced through various groups of material. A quick check of two probable sources, the photographs of Frank Lloyd Wright, both early and late in his career, the latter showing him at work with his students at Taliesin West in 1951. As for his buildings, thirteen have been surveyed by HABS alone, often with measure drawings like those for the influential Robie House in Chicago. By chance, among the oversized architectural drawings we discovered a significant unpublished version of his design for a United States Embassy complex in Tokyo, Japan. Deposited for copyrighted in 1914, it represents a telling link between Wright’s Prairie houses and his important design for Tokyo's Imperial Hotel, commissioned in the same year…" Includes a portrait of Wright as well as three additional photographs and illustrations.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright Selected Drawings Portfolio Volume One (Boxed, Single Sheets) (Published by A.D.A. Edita Tokyo Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan)
Author: Wright, Frank Lloyd; Wright Olgivanna L.
Description: Boxed portfolio of fifty drawings by Frank Lloyd Wright. Each illustration is printed in color, and mounted to a heavy beige sheet. Fifty plates are housed in a box, covered in black cloth, secured with ivory slips. Introduction: Alexander Woolcott, the famous American critic and journalist, once wrote, "If I was suffered to limit the word ‘genius’ to only one man, I would have to save it up for Frank Lloyd Wright." But in the past forty years since Alexander Woolcott’s statement, the word genius has been misused, abused, passed around from right to left, thus losing its essential meaning. The stature of Frank Lloyd Wright‘s genius is of such incredible proportions that any attempt to define it in our human terms is practically an impossible task. He functioned from another dimension – intangible, mystical, ethereal – still he was very much of the earth. "Form follows function," he said, "is mere dogma until you realize the higher truth that form and function are... Olgivanna Lloyd Wright. June 8, 1977.

Title: Drawings By Frank Lloyd Wright, Posterbook (Published by te\he Neues Publishing Company, New York, Kempen Germany,. Printed in Hungary)
Author: Wright, Frank Lloyd
Description: Frank Lloyd Wright is America's most famous architect and many would argue its greatest. Born in 1867, Wright grew up in rural Wisconsin in the decades following the Civil War and witnessed nearly a century of unprecedented technological invention and scientific discovery before his death at the threshold of the Space Age in 1959.
Wright's architectural career spanned seven decades. Early on, he defined the principles for what he called "organic" architecture and consistently argued for them not only in his designs, but in his prolific writings and frequent lectures. Appropriate to time, place and man, an organic architecture "proceeds, persists, creates, according to the nature of man and his circumstances as they both change".
In the 1890's and first decade of the 1900's, he revolutionized residential design, lowering overall heights, eliminating basements and attics, and breaking up the box-like Victorian spaces by introducing
free-flowing interiors, creating what became known as the Prairie Style. In the 1910's his simple exteriors gave way to greater ornamentation exemplified in Tokyo's Imperial Hotel and Chicago's Midway Gardens. He gave new life to the concrete block in his California houses of the early 1920's. During the early 1930's he founded his school of architecture, the Taliesin Fellowship....

Author: Designed by: Lemme, Shannon
Description: The city of Chicago played an important role in Frank Lloyd Wright’s long and prolific career. It was here that he first found architectural work, in 1887. At that time, the entire country was witnessing rapidly expanding industrialization, and Chicago, still rebuilding after the devastating fire of 1871 and strategically located in the middle of the country, was booming. The twenty-year-old Wright worked first as a draftsman for Joseph Lyman Silsbee, then soon landed a job with the prestigious firm of Adler and Sullivan... (From flap.)

Author: John Randal Publishing; Wilkerson & Hughes
Description: After Frank Lloyd Wright abandoned his wife and children in 1909, there were no major architectural commissions until 1916 due to wide spread condemnation across the USA. Very few residential designs were built during that time. Until 1930, there were national residential design competitions with large prize awards. This book contains drawings discovered in 4 different Residential Drawing competitions between 1913 and 1918. None of these designs have Frank Lloyd Wright's official name on the entry forms, however his Drafting Superintendent's name was used on several. If you examine the drawings closely, you will see Frank Lloyd Wright's unique private "Graphic Signature". Architects of his generation all had a unique Graphic they penciled onto every drawing. His graphic is a box with external outline. Over his entire career, Frank Lloyd Wright made slight changes from a penciled box to a red box, yet it remained on his drawings unto the end.

Author: John Randal Publishing; Wilkerson & Hughes
Description: Publisher’s description: Price Tower was built between 1952 and 1956 as the only skyscraper designed by Frank Lloyd Wright that was actually built. I remember seeing a model of a mile high building in the Architectural School a Taliesin, Wisconsin when I was 15 years old. Even then, I thought a mile high building was an engineering extreme given the wind loads and amount of structural steel needed fo support a building that could generate income. Price Tower is 221 feet high with 19 stories that symbolize a tree. The floors radiate from the elevator cores like branches. All of the floors are cantilevered out from the core. This design created exterior Curtain Wall design where no columns intruded into the outward view from inside the building... Original list price $6.95.

Author: Pfeiffer, Bruce Brooks
Description: The first major presentation in decades of the visionary drawings of the artist-architect and master designer. Frank Lloyd Wright was an architect of vast and unprecedented vision, whose work is not only still admired by the critics and carefully studied by historians but is also widely beloved. Comfortable spaces, humanly scaled, with extraordinary attention to detail-as seen in a range of architectural forms-are at the center of Wright’s enduring appeal. This vision and attention is nowhere more evident than in the drawings. It has been said that had Wright left us only drawings, and not his buildings as well, he would still be celebrated for his brilliant artistry, and this is borne out here. Even more significant, and shown here as never before, are the magical first moments of invention and inspiration-Wright’s earliest sketches, some never before published-which offer unique insight into the mind of the master architect. Frank Lloyd Wright Designs is the most important and comprehensive book to be published on the drawings, designs, conceptual sketches, elevations, and plans of Wright, with particular emphasis on the development of certain important projects. It includes the best-known and beloved projects-like Fallingwater, The Coonley House, Midway Gardens, the Guggenheim, the Imperial Hotel-as well as a range of intriguing, unfamiliar, and previously unpublished drawings by Wright.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright: Plans Drawn To A Common Scale (Soft Cover) (Published by WineWright Media, Traverse City, MI)
Author: Storrer, William Allin
Description: Back Cover: "Born in Bear Valley, Wisconsin, raised in nearby Richland Center, then Massachusetts before settling in south central Wisconsin, Frank Lloyd Wright always knew that he would be an architect. He wanted to create a Democratic American Architecture. With his Prairie homes, he achieved the first part of his goal, American Architecture. It was based upon geometry, the cruciform/pinwheel and square. With his Usonian houses, he created the next part, Democratic, thus achieving Democratic American Architecture. This was achieved by reducing the Prairie cruciform to a simple L. It is not easy for most to visualize in three dimensions, especially when one must do so from a two-dimensional plan. Yet Wright could visualize his idea for a building in three dimensions before he drew it in two. Two plans that, on paper, look identical, might be hugely different, depending on scale..."
