Scads of books have been written about Frank Lloyd Wright and his architectural oeuvre. But in this new tome by Scottsdale author (and PHOENIX and Phoenix Home & Garden contributor) Nora Burba Trulsson, readers get a new look into the luminary’s life at Taliesin West, his winter home and “desert laboratory” in the Scottsdale desert. Taliesin West: At Home with Frank Lloyd Wright (Rizzoli, $45) is organized by the spaces in the compound – garden room, drafting studio, office, cabaret theater, etc. – and offers insider stories that humanize Wright, his family and his students, reminding readers it was a home as well as a creative space. Beautiful original images by Phoenix photographer Andrew Pielage accompany archival photos in a book you’ll want to showcase on your coffee table or shelf long after you finish it.
