Dear fellow Poundians,
 
  this is a pretty urgent call for help adressed to all those who have access to [or in their private
or university libraries] the writings of Bucky Fuller.
  My problem is a strange one: In 1984, planned for EP's 100th birthday I had a text written for
publication here in Germany using quotations from a paperback the title of which was "The
Buckminster Fuller Reader". Strangely the notes for that text [or didn't need to] didn't include the
bibliographical data re the "Reader". Now I use the Fuller-quotes again in my little
introductory book on EP due to be published in October having copied them from the older text(s)
but still WITHOUT giving the exact source in the notes. Somehoiw the "B. F. Reader" seems to
having vanished from my library, I can't find it anywhere. And am informed that it is out of print. I
think it was a Penguin title but can't tell for sure.
 
  So as I want to keep the quotations in question in the book and not alter those parts just because
I can't name my source with author/editor, place, and year, here is my question:
 
  Maybe someone within our international Pound congregation [in the UK for example] knows the
book in question, knows someone else - maybe an architect or fellow Pounder - or knows how to
get it. To help a bit I attach the passages from my mss to this message. They are in German as I
had translated them back in '84. Maybe you can understand enough to find the exact page(s)
either in the mentioned paperback OR even in the ORIGINAL Fuller sources from 1948 and
1958...
 
  I am fully aware that this is pretty tough stuff. But even the Fuller Institute in California has
emailed me Friday, and they can't help because they have no money to hire people to do such
research work.  So I thought I'd better try the shortest way - asking Poundians & taking the risk to
make you tear your hair in indignation...
 
 I wd/ need the necessary informations [if not the exact page no(s) -  at least editor, place & year
of publication, the usual things] roughly until/before July 24th or 25th...
 
 This a.m. I discovered a text by Fuller on EP in an older  issue of AGENDA. Maybe in there I can
find things I cd use INSTEAD. But as long as there is a  CHANCE to get on with the quotes used
I'd lvike to take it.
 
 Thanks anyway. And sorry for bothering you.
 
  cheers,
