New York: Bantam Books, 1970. First Edition. Softcover, 192pp, 7 x 4.5 inches.

Very Good. Some rubbing to boards and wear throughout, but pages are tight to spine. Inside pages bright and clean.

First edition from 1970 of notorious experimental-theory text by Buckminster Fuller in collaboration with Jerome Angel and Quentin Fiore. The book, a collage of images, design, and text flows from Buckminster's conceit that existence on Earth is a matter of perpetual motion: "I live on Earth at present, and I don't know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing—a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process—an integral function of the universe."  

The upper half of each page reads in black from front to back, and the text in the lower half is upside down in green, so that the book can be read in reverse. Profusely illustrated throughout.
