Hardcover in dustjacket. 8vo. 620pp. White, grey cloth boards. Includes facsimile of author's autograph presentation copy to his wife, with his signed gift inscription "To my co-author Olgivanna from her own 'author'" on half-title. In very fine jacket with a small knick to the lower right edge and very slight creasing to the upper spine; otherwise very fine throughout. An unusually crisp copy of the autobiography of the maverick architect who through his writings and teachings, as much as his designs, created a uniquely American approach to building in the landscape. 

From the library of the important American poet Frank Bidart, who received the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, the Griffin Poetry Prize Lifetime Recognition Award, and the 2017 National Book Award for Poetry for his book Half-light: Collected Poems 1965–2016. With his neat ownership signature to the ffe.
