Signed book: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. First British edition. London: Methuen & Co Ltd, 1962. Hardcover with dust jacket, 5.5 x 8, 311 pages. Signed and inscribed on the first free end page in blue ballpoint, "For Joe: As I think I said on March 7, 1984, 'You got a nice daughter, Joe.' Ken Kesey, Sept. 1985." Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: VG+/VG, with a blacked-out copyright line (as is typical with this edition) showing through to the title page, and mild toning to dust jacket spine and edges. The consignor notes that in 1984 his daughter was in training as a nurse at the hospital in Spokane where Kesey's son was taken after suffering fatal injuries in an accident; this is how the consignor first came to meet the author. An exceptional example of Kesey's iconic novel.
