One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.    New York: The Viking Press, [1962].

First edition, first issue (with “that fool Red Cross woman” on p. 9, and “It’s the plump Red Cross woman named Gwen-doe-lin, with the blond hair…” on pp. 85-86).

Octavo. [viii], [1]-311, [1, blank] pp. Publisher’s full green cloth, spine lettered in yellow. In the original first issue dust jacket (priced “$4.95” and with Jack Kerouac’s five-word blurb on the front flap). Jacket spine mildly sunned (much less than usually seen for this First edition), lightest wear to edges of jacket spine and corners, two short closed tears at the top edge of the jacket front panel. Despite these flaws, this is one of the best copies we’ve seen of this title, notorious for condition problems.

This book, based on Kesey's experiences working the night shift in a mental ward, was the basis for the 1975 film starring Jack Nicholson; it was one of only three films to win all of the major Oscars (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress & Screenplay).
