_The_Multics_System_, Elliott Irving Organick, MIT Press, 1972
ISBN 0-262-15012-3

The original project goals, a cooperative effort between Bell Labs,
GE, and MIT, were outlined in the American Federation of Information
Processing Societies Conference Proceedings, Volume 27, Part 1,
1965 Fall Joint Computer Conference, Washington, DC (Spartan Books,
1965), pp. 185-247.

There is also the "Multics System Programmers Manual", but I don't
know where you can get this from these days.
