Abstract: 
From introduction: "In an effort to raise funds for restoration [of the Robie House in Chicago], our first project was an exhibition of [Frank Lloyd] Wright's Prairie School furniture designs presented in the context of his contemporaries. This book is a photographic essay of that exhibition with the addition of some rare, hitherto unpublished photographs of the construction of the Robie House and measured drawings of his furniture." Exhibition was at the gallery of the Architecture Building at the UIUC campus Sept. 15-Oct. 1, 1965.

Volume: 
1st ed
Abstract: 
From the introduction: "A Jam Session consists of nonfiction pieces and short stories set in Chicago and completed within the last six years. May of the entries involve sports. That reflects my belief that one can learn insights about themselves and others through the heat of competition. I hope that these works will provide some inspiration, perspective, or perhaps a chuckle."
