One of the more interesting books about vernacular building by the great compiler and generalist behind the whole earth catalogue. Some very interesting case studies.

A pioneering work about the psychology of the interiors of a home. Anecdotal and thoroughly researched.

One of the most interesting dialogues between builder and client around. Darwin Martin was one of FLW's fans and patrons for decades, being the man who commissioned the Larkin Building. This book chronicles the masterpiece currently being restored in Buffalo, New York.
