    I did not read the other review before adding this one to my que, but should have as I agree completely. Although it is nice little visual biography, you can certainly not 'tell this book by its cover.' I was hoping for at least a bit of a walk through of Fallingwater -- its mention was brief and unsupported by any visual references. The only thing I can guess is that this was a severely abridged or edited version of a multi-episodic production.

    They never showed "Fallingwater" which is on the cover. Fallingwater was Mr. Wright's greatest masterpiece, what a shame.

    Nice scholarly explanation of FLW's three homes. With lots of archival images both photo and film and the commentary of Wright scholars one develops a clearer picture of Wright's dreams and accomplishments.
