I have to be careful not to drool on this book I love it so, so much. Yes, a huge investment it may be, but for any appreciator of Louis Sullivan's architecture, it's an absolute must have. The large scale, and beautiful detail of the black and white photographs show the terra cotta ornamentation at its best. This is the only Sullivan book I've ever seen with documentation of work that's been lost for decades, so gorgeous.
