architecture gift books

Do you ever give architecture books as gifts? It's always a tough decision what to give...the usual but always popular FLW, the edgy young architect monograph, a geographically specific book to avoid stylistic conflicts.... Inspired by Brad and Angelina, I am giving my mother a Fallingwater calendar.

Blair Kamin at the Chicago Tribune lists 10 architecture books for the holiday shopping season.

1. New York 2000: Architecture and Urbanism Between the Bicentennial and the Millennium. By Robert A.M. Stern, David Fishman and Jacob Tilove, Monacelli, 1,520 pages, $100
2. domus 1928-1999, Volumes 1 to 12. Edited by Charlotte and Peter Fiell, Taschen, 6,960 pages, $600. (It's beautiful and shiny and if I had the money, I would buy it, take it home, and sleep with it.)
3. Hometown Architect: The Complete Buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright in Oak Park and River Forest, Illinois. By Patrick F. Cannon, Pomegranate, 144 pages, $35
4. Frank Lloyd Wright's Hardy House. Written and photographed by Mark Hertzberg, Pomegranate, 80 pages, $19.95
5. Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie Houses. Photographs by Alan Weintraub, text by Alan Hess, Rizzoli, 272 pages, $50
6. Sarasota Modern. By Andrew Weaving, Rizzoli, 208 pages, $50 (great gift book for non-architects - pretty images, wildly inventive work presented in nonthreatening manner)
   
7. Ove Arup: Masterbuilder of the Twentieth Century. By Peter Jones, Yale University Press, 364 pages, $40
8. Richard Meier Museums. Introduction by Germano Celant, Rizzoli, 300 pages, $85
9. Tracing Eisenman: Complete Works. Edited by Cynthia Davidson, Rizzoli, 400 pages, $75
10. A Manufactured Wilderness: Summer Camps and the Shaping of American Youth, 1890-1960. By Abigail A. Van Slyck, University of Minnesota Press, 296 pages, $34.95

My own top ten list would differ greatly, although it would include domus, maybe New York 2000 and Tracing Eisenman. Any particularly good architecture books for non-architects or favorite recent architectural publications?
