Good Enough for an Autograph

Although I only ordered Shining Brow the week before my vacation, it arrived in time to go with me. I had just been informed my hosts were neighbors to Kamal. Although the book was used, I had no qualms in requesting his autograph, increasing my collection beautifully. Sandi

A unique portrait of Wright from a different perspective

Author Kamal Amin was an idealistic young Egyptian just out of architecture school when he traveled to America to join Frank Lloyd Wright's circle, there to become a working member of his Taliesin Fellowship, and a disciple of Wright. Reflections From The Shining Brow: My Years With Frank Lloyd Wright And Olgivanna Lazovich combines a memoir with a biographical sketch of Wright and his Fellowship members, including many details on Wright's third wife Olgivanna Lazovich, who dominated the atmosphere of the group at the time. A unique portrait of Wright from a very different and insightful perspective.
