In the nature of materials, 1887-1941 : the buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright
New York : Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1942. First Edition. Very good copy in contemporary silver-blocked cloth boards, now lightly dust-dulled. Corners, joints and endbands show faint wear. Front hinge slightly weak; front leaves through half-title show a very small abrasion at the gutter (worming?). Text block remains strong and clean on the whole, with gently age-toned margins. A well-preserved example overall. Item #468385
