Reviews
"This is a book that offers a wide variety of perspectives; it has appeal on a personal level-the story of designing and building a particular house-and contributes to Frank Lloyd Wright scholarship. Hildebrand and Eaton are two of the leading Wright specialists in the United States." -Richard Guy Wilson, University of Virginia"A book that will delight all lovers of architecture. Frank Lloyd Wright's Palmer House provides a rare example of sympathetic in-depth analysis of an important building from the highly personal position of both client and historian." -Jennifer Taylor, Queensland University of Technology
