"Official Jack The Ripper Shop"

[GUT]

Maybe he sold out of Yo-Yos and Jelly Beans, or perhaps business is so good he is getting a bigger shop, or once people started to realise that his book was a load of BS and he hadn't solved a thing they stopped going there.

[Rosella]

very interesting! Has he no customers, no time any more, has made so much money he no longer needs to sell tatt? So many questions!

[Countess Mitzi]

Hi All! It's Case Closed for RE! At least for the Jack the Ripper shop! As I went by tonight RE was loading contents of the shop into a van. Shop now close, locked and the sign painted out. Requiescat in pace . .

[MrBarnett]

It's bloody closed!

[MrBarnett]

No, I haven't read it either. I've formed my opinions second hand from Casebook. Not very fair, I admit, but having been convinced by Stephen Knight as a callow youth I am wary of anything Sickert related.

I do have a copy though, picked up for a few pence in a charity shop. Perhaps I should give it a go.

I won my copy in a raffle at a Whitechapel Society meeting but I think it is a first edition. I confess I haven't read it yet.
But I'm not one of those who ritually heaps scorn on Patricia Cornwell. She is in my opinion well meaning and her involvement has greatly contributed to increase interest in this field.

[MrBarnett]

Already got your signed first edition in pride of place on your bookshelf, no doubt.

[Lechmere]

You will have to tell us - I didn't look.

[MrBarnett]

A bin full? I bet he's selling them at the full price.

MrB

[Lechmere]

He has quite a few copies of Patricia Cornwell's book

[MrBarnett]

Mr B
I'm not sure about the poster.

Which one, there a few on here who worry me.

MrsB has released the credit card, and I was planning to spend a bob or two in Stanfords, but with your recommendation I will have a look at Russell's guide first.

Just for a laugh I may take a copy of Pat Cornwell's book to the counter and ask if he also sells non-fiction.

MrB

[Lechmere]

Mr B
I'm not sure about the poster.
he has a table of books - ask Russell for the superb new guide book he's stocking.
The Princelet Street thing sounds good.

[Scott Nelson]

The remainder of what?

[MrBarnett]

The main book isn't Rob - I'm sure you will know about it when it is.

Main book? Is there a taster out there somewhere? If so, I want one!

MrB

[Rob Clack]

I can hardly contain my excitement.
