The 561-page, silver-titled hardcover was published by Duell, Sloan & Pearce. This copy differs from others, noted as 2nd/1st editions, because it only has one photograph - of Wright and his students at Taliesin. There also are no illustrations. The text of Wright's Five Books (chapters) remains clean and bright. I found a few random sections, underlined, in pencil & easily erased. The cover is worn along the edges and a bit sunned, as shown. A True First Edition would bring a high price at auction, but, because the book is so heavy, the hinges are damaged and need repair. (This is said to be a common problem in this hefty, vintage book, and others like it). The book can be repaired, which will increase its value. But if you wish to read, study, or add to your FLW collection, handle it carefully: it is intact, as is. (The price reflects the condition). It will be sent, carefully packed, with tracking. See less
