The Essential Frank Lloyd Wright:Critical Writings on Architecture
This book came out in February, but I just noticed it on a book store run over the weekend (unemployment is great way to force yourself to spend less on books). Though much of the content is available elsewhere, and you may even own some of it, the book is handsome, nicely produced and well and intelligently illustrated.
