To be honest was quite cheap so had to have it

I had to shell out the best part of a hundred quid for it ~10 years ago when I was researching Kłosowski. It was worth it, though.

I’ve never paid anything like that much for a ripper book to be honest. I’ve been trying to think what’s the most I’ve paid and I thinks it’s around £45 for The Harlot Killer around 20 years ago. Also the brilliant Winston Ramsey book The East End Then And Now. I might have paid around the same for Le Queux and two days later I bought a tatty copy of his Pearl Of The Borgias from a charity shop for a £1. I got Major Arthur Griffiths books for free from a house clearance (although volume one is a smaller book than 2 and 3. Never got a William Stewart though. A friend of mine has one though and he knows someone that has two!

I've paid more for one or two others, but in this case I really needed the book to inform my research into Kłosowski's life. As it transpired, I learned some very useful stuff from the whole book that hadn't been excerpted elsewhere.

Um... yes, that's right. He must have signed it in his prison cell, because it's in crayon.
