One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - lettered

Description from Suntup Website

The Suntup edition of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey is presented in three states. The edition measure 6” x 9” and feature seven color illustrations by award-winning artist Federico Infante, as well as a foreword by Chuck Palahniuk and an introduction by Robert Faggen, both of which appeared in the 40th Anniversary edition.

The illustrations in the Numbered and Lettered states are printed as fine art giclée prints on Hahnemühle Bugra and are tipped on. The text is set in Warnock Caption and printed letterpress by Norman Clayton in Ojai, California on Cougar Natural, Neenah Cotton and mouldmade Hahnemühle Biblio papers. The edition is designed by award-winning designer Misha Beletsky.

The Lettered edition is limited to 26 copies and is a full goatskin binding which is hand dyed in pastel colors to match the aesthetic of the interior illustrations. The cover is then overdyed in ochre with a craquelure resist technique. We chose this design as a way to symbolize the tension between individuality and authoritarian control. Its delicate network of fractures mirror the scars left by oppressive systems while simultaneously celebrating the resilience and beauty of imperfection. Each crack is a testament to the enduring human spirit that refuses to be subdued by conformity, inviting the reader to explore the power of personal freedom amid institutional authority.

A giclée printed fold-out of the Artist edition jacket illustration is included in this state. The book is housed in a clamshell enclosure covered in European cloth and velour lined trays. This state is printed letterpress on mouldmade Hahnemühle Biblio 150 gsm paper by Norman Clayton in Ojai, California. The hand dyed leather covers are created by Gillian Stewart in Glasgow, United Kingdom. It is signed by Chuck Palahniuk, Robert Faggen and Federico Infante.
