First edition of Fuller's first book. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Buckminster Fuller on the front pastedown. In near fine condition. The title of this book was chosen "to encourage and stimulate the broadest attitude toward thought. If, in imagination, all of the people of the world were to stand upon one another's shoulders, they would make nine complete chains between the earth and the moon. If it is not so far to the moon, then it is not so far to the limits - whatever, whenever, or wherever they may be." The only limits to our thinking, then, should be the limits of the universe itself. In Nine Chains to the Moon R. Buckminster Fuller takes up his own challenge and brilliantly displays the unique daring of his ideas. In the course of his analysis he makes us question our commonly-accepted notions of Euclidian geometry, "good" architecture, classical solutions to economic problems, and even our use of words. It is this kind of courageous thinking that led Fuller to his invention of the Geodesic dome and the formulation of his comprehensive anticipatory design science.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First edition. Small, thin ink stroke on front board else very near fine in a handsome near fine dustwrapper with a bit of rubbing at the folds. Inscribed by Buckminster Fuller, probably at a time contemporary or near to publication. using a curious and unusual third person sentiment using the entire front pastedown: "To Mary Hutch [or Hunter?], from Herman and Shirley Wolf and signed for her by Bucky Fuller who borrowed her for so many hours that he almost thought it his own; at least that in this way it seemed he was so far ahead of him that it took him a long time to catch up with her active area of thought." An amusing inbscription that displays creativity and intelligence. The first book by the designer, inventor, and polymath whose influence has only increased with time.
