"…never has [Kaufmann's] account been so astute and revealing, and never has the resulting building been so brilliantly portrayed as in this volume…As the reader views Fallingwater in a series of stunning illustrations, Kaufmann gives a more intimate view of what the house has meant to him personally and what role it has played in assuring Wright an enduring place in architectural history." — Booklist
"An engaging, intimate, sumptuous appreciation of Wright's 1936 house in Bear Run, Pennsylvania…[Kaufmann] is able to explain the intentions of architect and client, and writes with both feeling and critical knowledge, having lived in and with the masterpiece all his life. A work of loving scholarship, beautifully presented, Fallingwater is highly recommended for all collections." — Library Journal
