About this Item

Viking (1962) 1974. NY. 311 pages. 8vo. The 1st/1st of this title originally published by Viking hit the presses in 1962. This copy was printed in 1974 and copyright page states Twenty-second printing June 1974. DJ price of $6.00 intact on flap. Also states Viking Compass Edition Issued in 1964 by the Viking Press. This copy is BOLDLY SIGNED by KEN KESEY in a gold paint pen on front-free endpaper. For --, Ken Kesey. Ken Kesey also stamped a large multi-colored frog stamp to same endpaper. Book is about fine in clean, bright green cloth with 4 sharp corners. Yellow topstain. The only thing holding this book back from being flawless is a minor flaw: 3 bottom page edges having a tiny chip or folded-up chip (tiny). This flaw hardly detracts from this excellent copy. Most minor shelf-wear to edges. Flaws are overstated. This book is in excellent, crisp condition. DJ is in the famous design as the 1st printing with cover design/art by Paul Bacon. DJ is bright and colorful. Black edges are nearly impossible to keep free of flaws and this copy is no different. Some of the black color has rubbed off at corners and along contours. As a result of the rubbing on DJ, we have graded it VG++ . Of the few signed Viking copies available, this is a beautiful book and a fine alternative to the signed 1st printing which will set you back a cool $ 7K. Seller Inventory # 000091
