Summary: Not Complete, But An Excellent Choice
Review: Contrary to what some of the previous reviewers have stated, this book is not a complete reference to all of FLW's buildings, at least not pictorially complete. Instead, the most complete one-volume reference on FLW is Storrer's _The Frank Lloyd Wright Companion_.
That having been said, this is an excellent addition to the Storrer book because all of the pictures are in color, many of them very large and covering an entire page, whereas the Storrer book only has black and white.
For the price, this is an excellent buy, in my opinion, and it was even better when I bought it severeal months ago because at that time Amazon was bundling it for only about $16 with the Storrer book.
For those people who can't spend the almost $80 for the Storrer book, this is a good deal.

Summary: A Great, Big book on all of Wright
Review: Heinz has certainly done it again, written a book, a great, big book with great photos of every one of the buildings and has expanded on this by including a short biographical chapter and more photos and information on Stained Glass and Furniture. This 450 page book is the first to show all the buildings in color. The text is casual and refresingly non-academic. It talks about the people behind the buildings more than the buildings. How often have you read about the red brick and the six second floor windows, things that you can easily see in the illustration? This biographical information on the clients of Wright is fascinating and holds your attention as do the compelling photos. I don't know how they can get the price of this book down so low with the great quality of the reproductions but I hope there are more of Heinz's books like this one. On the otherhand, how can there be much more. I read that Heinz has 80,000 photos so I guess we have not seen them all, yet. This one is great and I hope Heinz keeps at it.

Summary: complete for the price
Review: Maybe the most complete book on Frank Lloyd Wright but despite the numerous photos, the quality is equal to the price. Some pictures like Guggenheim Museum are quite poor. Despite this it's a good book especially for the price.
