Summary:

Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings on the West Coast have not been thoroughly covered in print until now.

These include well-known structures such as the Marin County Civic Center and Hollyhock House in Los Angeles, and many lesser-known gems such as the 1909 Stewart House near Santa Barbara.
