Le 6 mars 1945, après avoir entendu des rumeurs selon lesquelles son fils, John, écrivait un livre sur leur passé orageux, Frank Lloyd Wright a écrit une note lui demandant : « Qu'est-ce que ce discours d'un livre ? De tout ce dont je n'ai pas besoin et que je redoute, c'est plus d'exploitation. Ne pouvez-vous pas le laisser tomber ? »
John a assuré à son père qu'il aimerait le livre et lui a envoyé une copie sur sa publication ? 29 mars 1946. Quelques jours plus tard, Frank Lloyd Wright le retourna avec de nombreux commentaires au crayon dans la marge, répondant à ce que son fils avait écrit, et avec une demande qu'un nouveau deuxième exemplaire lui soit envoyé. John a répondu à la demande, mais a d'abord transcrit non seulement tous les commentaires de son père dans la copie propre au crayon noir, mais aussi ses propres réponses au crayon rouge. Il a également transcrit tous ces commentaires en un troisième exemplaire, en utilisant à nouveau des couleurs pour différencier ses commentaires de ceux de son père. Ce troisième exemplaire est la base de cette nouvelle édition du livre de John Lloyd Wright.
Le texte principal de ce volume est une réimpression de l'édition de 1946 avec des notes marginales, des commentaires et des corrections faites par John Lloyd Wright et son père, ainsi que des notes explicatives et une introduction par Narciso G. Menocal.
Dans le post-script, Elizabeth Wright Ingraham, la fille de John Lloyd Wright, se souvenant de son grand-père et de son père, dit que dans cette édition « ce qui était un livre de fils devient un livre de père et de fils ».

On March 6, 1945, after hearing rumors that his son, John, was writing a book about their stormy past, Frank Lloyd Wright wrote a note asking him, "What is this talk of a book? Of all that I don't need and dread is more exploitation. Can't you drop it?" John assured his father that he would like the book and sent him a copy on its publication March 29, 1946. A few days later, Frank Lloyd Wright returned it with numerous comments penciled in the margin, responding to what his son had written, and with a request that a new, second copy be sent to him. John complied with the request but first transcribed not only all his father's comments into the clean copy in black pencil but also his own answers to them in red pencil. He also transcribed all these comments into a third copy, again using colors to differentiate his comments from those of his father. This third copy is the basis for this new edition of John Lloyd Wright's book. The main text of this volume is a reprint of the 1946 edition along with marginal notes, comments, and corrections made by John Lloyd Wright and his father, as well as explanatory notes and an introduction by Narciso G. Menocal. In the postscript, Elizabeth Wright Ingraham, John Lloyd Wright's daughter, remembering her grandfather and father, says that in this edition "what was a son's book becomes a father and son book.".
