Ally, you dumbass, you should have waited until they sent you a copy to accuse them of publishing plagiarized works.

I know. Miscalculation. In other news, Robert Anderson owes me BIG. That copy just tripled in value.
They don't do review copies anyway. They are a POD.

Ally,
True enough about PoD publishers not doing review copies, though as I recall a few such writers so published sent out review copies on their own. KT did because she really thought she had written THE answer to the Ripper riddle and Leanne Perry, who is a serious researcher and wanted her book publicized with a few reviews from those in the field. in the latter instance, Leanne did get some serious and largely favorable reviews.
So, if Mr. Powell is really serious, he could personally supply a few copies.

Trenouth sent me a free copy. It's the only reason I have it.

The book has not reappeared on Blurb's website, although Steve Powell's bio is still posted. Very odd. I hope everyone who was interested ordered the book before it was yanked. This could end up being one of the scarcest books in Ripperdom.Comment

Leanne seems to have dropped out of sight. I have indeed heard good things about her book. Is it still available through PoD ?Originally posted by Supe View PostManaging Editor

Hi Sir Bob. If you have Bruce Paley's book you have Leanne Perry's.

Tom,
A bit nasty that. Actually, I was surprised that in her conclusions she was less dogmatic than Paley about Barnett and I did find some of her observations interesting.
SRA,
I'll try to put you in touch with her about the book.

Hi Supe. I do recall being very impressed with one observation regarding the Ripper letters, although for the life of me I cannot recall it right now.

That's odd. Mine came today and it says "...Behind the Jack the Ripper Diar" which, were the word to be completed in a specific way, might be more appropriate. Anyway, no time to check out the contents at the moment because I've got a couple of other books on the go.Originally posted by Sir Robert Anderson View PostComment

Fame or Infamy
I believe it should be the full word of 'Diary'.
This is how it appears on the fascimile of the cover.
Future books will be corrected,
meanwhile 'rarities' could attract a premium in the future ..."Victoria Victoria, the queen of them all,

I've no axe to grind in any of this, but I thought I would share one quote from this publication which particularly struck me:
"Never again would I underestimate an audience's intelligence." (p.61)
But this was in 1974...

Oh that's just too delicious, Mark.
If you find any more gems like that one, I hope you will share them with this dumb audience.
Almost takes the mind off the unfortunate Anne Frank episode on page 2.
Love,
Caz
