From the rear cover

"This authoritative survey of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture on the West Coast is a major contribution to the work of America's greatest architect. Mark Wilson's meticulous text, together with Joel Puliatti's superb photographs, make the buildings come alive." --Peter Selz, professor emeritus of modern art, University of California, Berkeley

"This first new book since 1999 to discuss Frank Lloyd Wright's West Coast work includes interesting stories about the original clients updated with engaging commentary by present owners. The photographs are worthy of careful study." --Larry A. Woodin, former president, Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy

"Was [Wright's] healthy ego justified in his work? A thousand times over. What does it matter when it is the work that lives on?" --T. C. Boyle, author of The Women and owner of the Stewart House (Chapter 1)
