Ken Kesey, signed
KESEY, Ken (1935-2001). One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. New York: The Viking Press, 1962.

First edition, first printing, of Kesey’s first novel, signed. In the first state dust jacket with Kerouac's five-word blurb. Milos Forman's 1975 film adaptation became the first film in 41 years to sweep the major categories at the Academy Awards: it won Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenplay. Most recently the book has loosely inspired the small screen series Ratched. A lovely copy without the usual fading to spine. Karolides et al., 100 Banned Books, pp. 398-400. Signed "Ken Kesey 1995" on half title.

Octavo. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket (light wear to spine panel ends and corners, a couple small abrasions to rear panel over author's hairline and forehead); custom box.
