2008 The Noble Room. The Inspired Conception and Tumultuous Creation of Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple (Hard Cover) (Published by Top Five Books, LLC, Oak Park, IL) Sokol, David M. 100th Anniversary Edition. "Early on the morning of June 4, 1905, lightning struck the steeple of Unity Church in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, igniting a fire that would raze the building to the ground. The Unitarian congregation suddenly needed a home and turned to local architect Frank Lloyd Wright for a new approach. With Wright’s execution of Unity Temple, the ideas he’d been working on and experimenting with for years were finally brought to fruition, and modern design was born. Wright’s design for Unity Temple was radical in its simplicity a monolithic concrete exterior yet sublime in its detail and revolutionary in its use of interior space. His approach would never again be the same, and his influence would extend around the world, forever changing the face of architecture and design. Building with poured concrete on this scale had never been attempted before; work took longer than anticipated, then stopped altogether; the architect made alterations and additions; the contractor disappeared for months at a time; costs skyrocketed. When completed in 1909, it was and still is considered one of the landmarks of modern architecture." (Publisher’s description.) Original list price $22.95. 5.75 x 8.5.

2009 Frank Lloyd Wright, The Heroic Years: 1920 - 1932 (Hard Cover, DJ) (Published by Rizzoli International Publications, Inc., New York) Pfeiffer, Bruce Brooks Frank Lloyd Wright’s wife, Olgivanna, is famously quoted as saying that "My husband seemed to thrive on hardships." From the years 1920 to 1932 Wright’s fortunes were at a low ebb; he was plagued by financial, personal, and professional setbacks, but saw the time as one of challenges instead of one of defeat. Unable to find patrons, his imagination led to visionary, often splendid, architectural conceptions that laid the groundwork for the revolutionary architecture he would build in the decades to follow. During this period he designed almost fifty projects, of which only a few were realized, but those few are seen today as among his most important creations. Rare and unseen photos as well as little-known drawings from this period are on lavish display in this important work on the master architect. (Publisher’s description.)

2010 Frank Lloyd Wright, Complete Works 1917-1942 (Hard Cover, Boxed) (Published by Taschen GmbH, Hohenzollernring, Koln) Pfeiffer, Bruce Brooks; Editor: Gossel, Peter This second volume deals with the work after World War I, beginning with the Imperial Hotel, covering Wright’s quest to design affordable houses to Fallingwater being the dramatic climax. From 1917 through the Depression, up until 1942, he designed continually. Wright saw many projects go unrealized, but built on new concepts. His block building system led to the famous Ennis house in Los Angeles. In 1936 he completed the Herbert Jacobs house, using his new "Usonian" techniques. He moved to Arizona at the age of 71 and started building Taliesin West. The Johnson Administration Building opened to great fanfare, nationwide publicity, and lines around the block waiting to tour inside. Despite adversity, Wright emerged from this era with reputation restored and vitality renewed — as manifested in Fallingwater and the Johnson building — while his Usonian homes began to alter the way Americans lived.

2011 Frank Lloyd Wright, Complete Works 1885-1916 (Hard Cover, Boxed) (Published by Taschen GmbH, Hohenzollernring, Koln) Pfeiffer, Bruce Brooks; Editor: Gossel, Peter Volume 1 covers the early Chicago years and the Prairie Houses, the period which provoked a profound influence on European architects. Wright's architectural work during these early years was mostly residential, as it would be throughout his career, and from his earliest work, Frank Lloyd Wright demonstrated a knowledge of and respect for natural materials. In the ten years between 1896 and 1906 he developed and perfected the so-called "prairie house." Wright believed the architect should have complete charge of architectural design, and for him this meant interior furnishings as well as exterior landscape. The 1908 Avery Coonley residence, the administration building for the Larkin Soap Company (1903–1905), and the Unity Temple (1905) are examples of major works from the period.
