One crease on lower front cover, minor wear on covers. Louis Sullivan was one of the first American cultural heroes, a man whose architectural achievements ranked with those of Walt Whitman in poetry or Henry James in the novel. This is a sumptuous book, handsomely illustrated with historical views and supplemented by a fine new set of color photographs of Sullivan's most important surviving buildings. A fine gift for lovers of architecture and its history. Proceeds from the sale of this book benefit environmental restoration and education.
