This book is excellent. Have to get my own copy though, Library one is almost worn out!

Hi John. I actually have this book and have to admit that the pictures, maps, diagrams and everything are top notch. I also like the title "Jack The Ripper: CSI Whitechapel", as I am a big fan of the CSI programs on television at the moment. Also the fact that after studying psychology it helps me with an insight into Jack's world as it was then besides all the documentaries I have seen over the years. Thanks for this and keep up the great work you and Paul Begg are doing.

Hi Scanbran

All I can say is that you've chosen very wisely with all those titles. Hope you get as much from this website as I do!

All the best

Hello Scanbran and welcome to the boards...it's a cracking book isn't it? Have you read many others yet?

Welcome from me too, Scanbrain. Interesting name!

Thanks for the welcome!

The first book I got was Philip Sugden's 'Complete History', which I bought on a whim as it had good reviews. Turns out that it was a decent choice after joining up here and seeing how popular it is! In between reading that I got the CSI book to help visualise the areas involved.

These books and this website have got me very interested in the whole case, and I've now bought a few more books (still to be read). I've started Paul Begg's 'The Facts' book and have a few more lined up ('Letters From Hell', 'The Lodger', 'A-Z')

So far I've just been amazed at the volume of information on this site and the depth of knowledge on the forum

Stunning imagery within the pages of this book and highly recommended to anyone with an interest.

I got this book a few weeks ago and found it really useful in bringing the locations to life and helping to imagine what they would have been like at the time.

I saw this book in my local Waterstones. Would you recommend it?

I certainly would. There's a lot of useful information accompanied by Jake Lukaanen's superb illustrations. It's an excellent primer on the Whitechapel Murders.

[Cogidubnus]

As a comprehensive general introduction to the case, then yes, more than any other book of it's kind historynerd!

All the best

Dave

PS Welcome to the boards by the way

Hi TomTomKent - For what it's worth I agree with you - there does seem, to me at least, to be a need to demonstrate just how dark the murder scenes were - Many of the target readership will, after all, have been brought up on the concept of brightly lit streets...and would possibly otherwise find it difficult to envisage how restricted vision could really be...

All the best
