: Numbered limited edition, number 41A of 1250 (250 copies of this edition were not originally for sale). Original tan and brown cloth binding with matching paper-board slipcase. Slipcase has text in brown with red square, and cloth cover includes red square and lettering on spine. Interior contains gold pastedowns and a photograph of Wright. Book is in near-fine condition, though slipcase bears some dirt and scuffing. Some very minor foxing to page edges. In 1932, Frank Lloyd Wright published his now classic indictment on the city as The Disappearing City. Wright continued to work on his thesis and in 1945 republished it as When Democracy Builds. In 1958 he published his third and final version, The Living City, which he expanded and rewrote completely. In 1969, Horizon Press published a new boxed version of The Disappearing City, with Wright’s handwritten revisions titled The Industrial Revolution Runs Away. This edition contains a facsimile of the original 1932 book reproducing each page as subsequently revised and written in Frank Lloyd Wright’s hand. This edition also includes facing pages presenting the new text complete with the revisions. Hardcover with slipcase, very good condition. 187 pages, quarto.
