After 16 years in print Engineering Architecture: The Vision of Fazlur R. Khan is no longer offered for sale by the publisher. The book is now out of print.

I’m saddened by this news, but the publisher, W.W. Norton & Company, deserves my thanks for keeping the book in its catalog this long. It was not a book that sold well. The list price was high – US$55.00 – which, as I understand it, reflected the high cost of including over 200 illustrations, carefully placed within the text at their appropriate locations. I do not regret this aspect of the book and I am grateful that my editor at W.W. Norton supported my request to include the many illustrations. It is these many, varied, images that not only help explain important technical issues but also help one develop a sense of my father as a person. They are, for me, what makes this record of my father’s life and work truly special.
