This book has a fairly decent amount of photos of FLLW's glass designs, and the quality of the photos is decent also. I haven't read much of the book since I'm mainly interested in the photographs of his windows. There's not a lot of quality books out there for his stained glass (unless you want to spend $... on the Glass Art book), so this is a worthwhile introductory purchase.
I actually DID read this lovely book accentuated by wonderful pictures....just be aware that it is NOT a book of stained glass patterns although the pictures will surely provide ample ideas for you to adapt. It'll be difficult NOT to get excited about doing some 'lightscreen' projects around your home or office where you DO want want to see outside, unobstructed light and scenery with either full panels or partial panels. Am I glad I bought this book?...You bet!
I was very impressed with the information and color pictures in this book. But unless you have a Kindle Fire or the Kindle app on a color tablet, I would recommend buying the the actual book. (Yes they still do make books out of paper :) )
The stained glass information was helpful to me in my own stained glass business- well written and historically accurate, and the book captured the essence of who Frank Lloyd Wright was. The only criticism is that some of the photos weren't better- better lighting and professionally taken, which I realize could be hard to do in what are now historical buildings. The author is definitely qualified in all aspects (building these windows, and in historical study) to write this book.
