Description: But it's the truth even if it didn't happen. Here we offer a very rare first edition, stated third printing, of Ken Kesey's classic, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, published by Viking in 1962. It bears the first edition point of the uncorrected "fool Red Cross woman" on page 9, line 12, which was changed for being insensitive. The book comes wrapped in the highest quality facsimile of the first edition dust jacket you can only get here, digitally remastered and printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers.The book is in very good condition with clean boards (please see pics). Intact endpages bear an extensive inscription (please see pic). Very tight and square binding. Light coffee stain on the edges of pp.17-22. Otherwise, very clean, bright and crisp text. The new facsimile dust jacket comes secured in an acid-free mylar sleeve and ready to slip into your collection. 277 pages. The book measures approx. 8 x 5.5-inches. A very fine preserved copy of this American classic!This will make a wonderful addition to your firsts collection or a very thoughtful gift.This title has been repeatedly banned from US schools.
