A Trail of Corn - A True Mystery by Walker, Keith - 1995

California: Golden Door Press, 1995. Stated First edition. Hardcover. Good/good +. Signed and inscribed by the author on the title page, "To my friend, Elaine, Best Wishes Keith June 13, 1995." Heavy blue cloth hardcover with gilt spine titles, stated first edition in dustjacket. A good copy with minor edgewear light corner bends. Spine tips are crimping and the size of the book has lead to some ridging and cocking at the spine column. Some soil to the front edge of the text block. Previous owner's name neatly on the front pastedown. Hinges and bindign are solid and the pages are clean and unmarked. The dustjacket is even better, unclipped, with light edgewear and some ruffling along the panel edges - bright and unmarked. 770 pages, some black and white photos, indexed. A massive volume examining the murder of Stephanie Bryan, and the tenuous conviction of Burton Abbott in 1950's Berkeley.
