FS: Presentation Copy of Bucky Fuller Book

[P. O. Box 2321]

My trade is used and rare children's books, but my personal collection
includes much by and about R. Buckminster Fuller. As I buy Fuller titles,
I 'trade up' my collection; I replace a later edition with a first
edition, or a non-signed copy with a signed copy. My collection slowly
improves and duplicates go up for sale. If you are a Bucky reader or
collector and would like to be notified when I have books for sale, drop
me a line and I'll add you to my list. And if you have Bucky books for
sale (particularly first editions, signed copies and the like) let me
know!

[#2620] Fuller, R. Buckminster: UNTITLED EPIC POEM ON THE HISTORY OF
INDUSTRIALIZATION. Highlands: Jonathan Williams, 1962. 1st ed. Wraps,
12mo, 227 pp. Very Good: plastic jacket torn, light soiling. Buckminster
Fuller penned this book of 'ventilated prose' while working for Fortune
Magazine in 1940. This is the first copy, signed, inscribed and dated by
Bucky. "To Wonderful dear little Midge, who gave me many days of her
summer of 1940 typing and retyping these words goes copy #1 with great
love Bucky 3/6/1963". Midge Tenney was a friend of Bucky's sister Rosy,
and worked as one of Bucky's secretaries at Fortune. There is one small
pencil correction to the text, presumably by Bucky. Included is a brief
letter from Allegra Fuller Snyder (Bucky's daughter) about this book and
Midge Tenney. $350.00
