The Disappearing City / First Edition, Second State / 1932

by Frank Lloyd Wright

The Disappearing City "is the first book in which Wright defined his proposal for a decentralized, agrarian society based on the proper use of the machine. The subject was of continuing concern to him, and the text of this book was rewritten and included in When Democracy Builds and The Living City" (Sweeney 328).

This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket is in fair condition and in a Mylar cover.
