'Leather Apron, or the Horrors of Whitechapel', pub 1888

[tnb]

Has anyone ever seen or read this book? It is available on amazon at the minute for a slightly eyewatering price (see below) but I can't help thinking it may be worth a look...I would of course like to know if it's of any interest first though!

I know the Vassili theory has been largely buried since, but I am not interested in this as a suspect book per se; I am however fascinated in the ways in which the case was seen and reported at the time.

Any thoughts from anyone who has seen this book very much appreciated.

Thanks Chris.

Hi,

I'd like to inform you that link for a free copy of 'Leather Apron, or the Horrors of Whitechapel' seem not work correctly. Images seems no more available.

Do you think to re-upload them?
Thanks

Best Regards
