QuickviewOne Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
First Edition, General Literary Fiction, Modern First EditionsOne Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest By Ken Kesey First English edition, first impression (Methuen & Co, 1962).

Originally published in the US earlier the same year and famously adapted into the classic 1975 film. Publisher's original burgundy cloth with gilt lettering to spine. A little spotting to top edge with an inconspicuous mark to foot of upper board with small biro mark to rear paste down, contents lovely and clean otherwise and free from names and inscriptions, about near fine. The original and unclipped dust jacket has some of the usual lifting to the laminate in places, primarily to upper panel hinge with light traces of browning to edges.
