Frank Lloyd
Wright, Edited by Kaufmann, Edgar |
While this version indicates it to be a
first edition, it varies from the first volume. The first page
does not have a red square in the top right hand corner. The dust
jacket list the price as $15 on the front cover flap and the address for
Horizon Press as 156 Fifth Avenue, New York 10 on the back cover and
back cover flap. It also lists the price for The Natural House as
$7.50. Comparing this to the previous book leads me to believe
that the red square in Wright publications may indicate a true first
edition. Original HC List Price $15.00.

Frank Lloyd Wright,
Edited by Kaufmann, Edgar |
“As
revolutionary as the structures themselves are the principles that
governed Frank Lloyd Wright’s
approach to architecture. In this celebrated volume, first
published in 1955, these guiding principles are elucidated in an
evocative joining of text and image.”
This Barnes & Noble version is the same on the inside, but has added 25
color illustrations on pages I-XVI between pages192-3, has a different
binding than the original, and is slightly smaller. 8.75 x 11.6. (First
