This message was sent to New York Public Library by Susan Allen at the
Getty.
By telephone and fax today I received a report of a theft of rare and
scarce architectural books, including Frank Lloyd Wright books, from a
private collection. The theft occurred in Phoenix, Arizona, probably
within the past two weeks from a storage unit in which the books were being
stored. The books were part of an estate and were being stored for the new
owners.
A major portion of an approximately 10,000 volume library has been
stolen, including about 75 rare books from the 16th through the 20th
centuries.
Anyone having information regarding this special collection or having
been approached to purchase the collection may call Kristen at
480-778-8200. Kristen can also provide a list of the stolen rare books.
