Generally the reason why Rob and I did THE LONDON OF JACK THE RIPPER THEN AND NOW. This book set out with high ideals, but the results were disappointing. Poor quality reproduction, dodgy recent photos, incorrect locations, flimsy production - and, having been in touch with Mr Riley, on a personal level I didn't find him that affable an individual!

I was quite excited when I saw it available for mere pennies on Amazon, but upon it's arrival was a little disappointed.

Some of the photo's are pretty bad and the small sidebars looks like it was made for kids.

Not as good as "JTR's London Now and Then"*
