First in Second Jacket
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Publication: New York: Viking Press, 1962. First Edition.
Notes: A first edition of Kesey's classic 1960s novel, filmed by Milos Forman with Jack Nicholson in the lead. This copy is in a married later printing jacket, without the Kerouac blurb at the bottom of the front flap.
Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing, stating "Published in 1962" with no later printings noted). "That fool Red Cross woman" on page 9 is not a point of issue. All copies of the first three printings have it. This copy has some light stains on the cloth. The book is in a very good early printing dust jacket still priced at $4.95 but without the Kerouac blurb on the front flap. The jacket is chipped at the spine ends and has wear at the corners.
This copy comes in a black-cloth clamshell box, faded to gray at the spine. The spine label identifies the book as a signed copy; it is not signed.
