"John Howe had a remarkable career in architecture. Joining Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin Fellowship at age nineteen, Howe quickly became the great architect's chief draftsman, and he was present at the creation of some of the most famous buildings of the twentieth century. After Wright's death, Howe established his own office in Minneapolis, designing scores of elegant homes and other works in the organic manner pioneered by Wright. John H. Howe, Architect offers a thorough, beautifully illustrated account of a quiet, gentle man who left behind one of the finest bodies of modern architecture in Minnesota."--Larry Millett, author of Minnesota's Own: Preserving our Grand Homes and Once There Were Castles: Lost Mansions and Estates of the Twin Cities "Jane King Hession and Tim Quigley have told a first-rate and engaging story. This book not only brings attention to the legacy of organic architecture as embodied in John H. Howe's work, but also reinvigorates the discussion of creating buildings in harmony with the nature of our planet."--Louis Wiehle, co-founder of Wiehle-Carr Architects and apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin, "The book is a revelation, tracing Howe's rise from raw teenager to superbly accomplished designer."-- Star Tribune " John H. Howe: From Taliesin Apprentice to Master of Organic Architecture will make a happy addition to the libraries of architects, Wright enthusiasts and those who favor mid-century architecture and design."-- Friends of Fallingwater " John H. Howe, Architect is a compelling story of Howe's daily collaboration with Wright."-- Architecture Minnesota "In recounting Howe's experiences, the authors give a very good sense of the inner workings of Wright's studio, and indeed the personality and character of America's greatest architect."-- Ramsey County History "A richly illustrated and eminently readable book."-- Minnesota History, "The book is a revelation, tracing Howe's rise from raw teenager to superbly accomplished designer."-- Star Tribune " John H. Howe: From Taliesin Apprentice to Master of Organic Architecture will make a happy addition to the libraries of architects, Wright enthusiasts and those who favor mid-century architecture and design."-- Friends of Fallingwater " John H. Howe, Architect is a compelling story of Howe's daily collaboration with Wright."-- Architecture Minnesota "In recounting Howe's experiences, the authors give a very good sense of the inner workings of Wright's studio, and indeed the personality and character of America's greatest architect."-- Ramsey County History

Good coverage & well balanced review of John Howe's career.
Aside from the authors misidentifying 2-point perspectives for 3-point, this is a nice overview of John Howe's career and his mastery of presentation drawings. A pity Wright could not find it within himself to give credit where it is due. As stated by a fellow apprentice and head of the archives, The Master's prodigious output in his last 25 years would not have been possible without the talents and generous efforts of Howe and others. Would like to have seen more images from the Sandstone years. Otherwise, the content is quite balanced.

One of the Best books ever written on a Taliesin Apprentice.
A excellent book on Mr. Howe as far as his career. Jack was a extensive correspondant and a bit more about his lifelong friendships with Taliesin Apprentices though would have been great. But still an excellent book about an excellent man

John Howe
Good research yields good copy. Strong visual images are illustrative of points made in text. A book that clarifies some of the Wright mystique by explaining the nuts and bolts of a very productive design firm. Five stars.
