The International Collectors Library was a book club series published by Doubleday Book & Music Clubs, Inc. from the late 1940’s through the late 1980’s.
Generally, the books followed the 8-1/2″ x 5-3/4″ book size format.  The binding designs were adapted based on old “Golden Age of Bookmaking” bindings, and made to look like leather-bound copies (leatherette).  The bindings were embossed with 24K gold embellishments, and some copies had gilt edges (thin layer of gold leaf) applied.  A sewn in satin ribbon marker was also added in most books.  There were over 400 editions published in a variety of bindings.  Some editions came with loose-leaf inserts that described the book club, the bindings and design styles, and a story synopsis of the book-in-hand.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Tyrannical Nurse Ratched rules her ward in an Oregon State mental hospital with a strict and unbending routine, unopposed by her patients, who remain cowed by mind-numbing medication and the threat of electric shock therapy. But her regime is disrupted by the arrival of McMurphy – the swaggering, fun-loving trickster with a devilish grin who resolves to oppose her rules on behalf of his fellow inmates. His struggle is seen through the eyes of Chief Bromden, a seemingly mute half-Indian patient who understands McMurphy's heroic attempt to do battle with the powers that keep them imprisoned. Ken Kesey's extraordinary first novel is an exuberant, ribald and devastatingly honest portrayal of the boundaries between sanity and madness.
