Can anyone help point me in the direction of a place I can purchase the book
Catherine Eddowes: Ripper Victim. She is the victim that I am most fascinated by, and i would love to see images of her realtives! If anyone has any idea where I could find this book or any books that touch heavily on the life and times of Catherine Eddowes I would greatly appreciate it.

Ryan,

You'll have better luck finding Shelden's more recent book The Victims of Jack the Ripper which I believe republishes (and adds to) much of the info contained in his earlier, out of print, works. You'll definitely find the pictures you seek. I recommend it.

See this thread

and here they have several at Amazon.com

Thank you so much for your guidance in finding a worthwhile book on the topic! I've been looking for books that go more in depth on the victims and put aside alot of the suspect theories and I look forwad to purchasing this one. Thanks again for your help!

Ryan,

I also saw it on ebay. It's been listed for awhile now by more than one vendor. I tried to post a link, but for some reason it didn't work. Just go into ebay, then do a search for Jack the Ripper and you should find the book listed. Of course you might get it cheaper with one of Jonathon's sources above.

If you get it, let me know how you like it.

Jonathan,

I'm glad to see you recommend this book because I've come close to getting it several times. I can be confident about buying it, now.

I consider all of Neal Shelden's works on the Whitechapel victims essential reading. It can not be overstated just how important his ongoing research into the lives of the victims and their descendants is to the case.

Along with the short works on Annie Chapman and Kate Eddowes, Neal has also published two works on the canonicals: Jack the Ripper and His Victims (1999), and The Victims of Jack the Ripper (2007). The most recent one is easy to find at a reasonable price.

Here's an interview Neal done for Ripper Notes:
