Just remember one important thing that the folks in California at "Daylight Sales" clothing shop stress: Wright's book is 7 pounds of reading material and over 1000 photos, drawings and paint samples.. They say that if you really love the "DAYLIGHT" that much-- you could take Wright's book and approx $ 12.5 MIL and build one..
