Signed book: Sometimes a Great Notion. First edition, first printing. NY: The Viking Press, 1964. Hardcover with price-clipped dust jacket, 6 x 8.75, 628 pages. Artistically signed and inscribed on the first free end page in ink, "For Joe, Ken Kesey." Kesey fills the entire page with a green, blue, and purple design. Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: VG/VG-, with a small spot of toning and surface loss to the front pastedown, and substantial wear and creasing to dust jacket. An uncommon example of Kesey's second novel. While One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is certainly more famous, many critics consider Sometimes a Great Notion to be Kesey's magnum opus.
