Oddly scaled. While the books measure 7"x14", the text takes up only 5.5" of vertical space, blank above and below.

Volume 1 has articles devoted to Broadacre City by John Meunier (interview with Cornelia Brierly), H. Allen Brooks, K. Paul Zygas, Peter G. Rowe, John Sergeant, Lionel March, Grady Gammage, Jr., Ignacio San Martin, Frederick Steiner and Max Underwood. All photos b/w, quite small and nothing new.

Volume 2 articles include Jeffrey M. Chusid (Introduction), Lionel March (on spacial relations), Donald P. Hallmark (early decorative designs and ornament at Dana House), Bruce B. Pfeiffer (Usonian house and integral ornament) and Linda Nelson Johnson (natural pattern of structure).

Excellent lineup of contributors.
