Luke Karamazov by Hilberry, Conrad - 1987: Great Lakes Books Series

Michigan: Wayne State University Press, 1987. First edition. Hardcover. Good +/fair. Signed and inscribed by the author - inscription on the half-title and just the author's signature on the title page in a light blue ink. "August 1987 for Suzie and Dick, Nicole and Nate, wonderfully generous guests and hosts - what a loving houseful! - affectionately, Marion and Con." Red cloth hardcover 1st edition in dustjacket. A good plus copy, but with a hard bump at the top of the rear board. Binding solid and corners straight. Some minor bending at the corners and spine tips. The price-clipped dustjacket is not quite as good with scuffing, and chips and bending at the panel edges. 189 pp., the story of the Searl Brothers, their family history and their murders.
