I was very excited to win this book through Goodreads Give-away especially because I just completed a Frank Lloyd Wright binge. The book arrived today. I can't wait to explore Hank Schubert's take on architecture.

amazing look at the life and work of one of the most influential characters in Salt Spring life
Michelle is able to effectively bring to light Hank's contributions to architecture, quality home building, and the larger issues affecting a small community that's growing.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in north west home design, Salt Spring Island and related subject matter.
