Rating: 5 / 5
Piccolo volume, quasi un breviario, utile a chi vuole accedere rapidamente a un dettaglio di design del grande architetto.
Rating: 3 / 5
It is 4″ X4″ or so and about 1/8 inch thick so I was surprised at how small it is.
The content was ok.

“Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fireplaces,” by Carla Lind, explores one particular facet of the work of this great architect. This book is part of a series of “mini-books” devoted to Wright. But despite the book’s small scale (5.25 by 5.25 inches, 57 pages), Lind has packed in a wealth of words and images.
The book contains Lind’s insightful text, as well as a wealth of illuminating sidebar quotes from Wright and others. There are many detailed, full-color photographs of stunning fireplaces. There is even a delightful historic black-and-white photo of Wright himself playing the piano near one of his fireplaces.
Houses represented in the book include the Hollyhock house, the Hanna house, Fallingwater, and many others. Each fireplace is a beautiful work of art which seems like an organic, integral part of the home. This book will surely delight fans of Wright, and of home design in general.
