Hardcover. NY, Reagan Books, 1st, 2006, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, 272 pages. Through striking illustrations and stunning photographs, Bohemian Modern explores the unique structural and interior designs that have put California's ultra-chic Silver Lake neighborhood at the forefront of a new style phenomenon. One of the country's most renowned modernist architects, Barbara Bestor has fully embraced and perfected Silver Lake's "bohemian modern" style: a practical philosophy that is Californian in origin but achievable anywhere. It is a look that favors raw, authentic materials, brilliant colors, creative space planning, and a natural flow between indoors and outdoors. The results, as Bohemian Modern presents, are striking: a flawlessly restored Neutra house decorated with both whimsy and restraint, a rooftop constructed for viewing the stars, a lavish outdoor garden delicately integrated into the surrounding architecture, a double-sided bookcase that soars three stories and serves as a functional art installation...there is no limit to the creativity and beauty of Silver Lake style.

Hardcover. New York, Rizzoli/Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, 1st, 1995, Book: Near Fine, Dust Jacket: Near Fine, Hardcover, 352 pages, edited by Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer. Illustrated mostly in b&w, some color. In publisher's shrinkwrap. This volume contains the last ten years of the writings of Frank Lloyd Wright (1869-1959)-including the famous works "The Natural House" (1954), "A Testament" (1957), and "The Living City" (1958)-which are a mixture of rehashed ideas, the reworkings of earlier published pieces, and fanciful explorations into the concepts of truth and beauty. Little new is revealed to the Wrightian scholar by these later works. Yet this last volume cannot be dismissed. As one reads these essays, earlier thoughts and beliefs of Wright, first discovered in the earlier volumes, regularly reemerge and remind the reader of Wright, great influence in art and architecture. Ultimately, this book's value lies in its comprehensiveness (even the banal is included).
