During a previous Druitt-related thread someone asked about David Anderson’s book on Druitt - Blood Harvest: My Hunt For Jack The Ripper. At the time it appeared impossible to obtain a copy and I had to settle for the kindle version. Whilst checking a price comparison site yesterday a found a hard copy version. The book has now been printed by Amazon (it said copyright 2020) and so is available to anyone interested. I look forward to re-reading it. I noticed a mention for Simon Wood in the acknowledgments. The book is only £7. Well worth it IMO.

“...A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane
As night descends upon this fabled street:
A lonely hansom splashes through the rain,
The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet.
Here, though the world explode, these two survive,
And it is always eighteen ninety-five.” -
A hard copy - softcover. but, as you say, very well worth the money.

You got a mention too of course Paul. Then again, there aren’t many that you dontOriginally posted by PaulB View Post
As I don’t have my pad I can’t recall if the kindle version had any photos? This hard copy version doesn’t.
I thought it it was a very good book. I don’t know if Anderson wrote anything else? I know that you knew him Paul. I remember seeing that photograph with yourself, David, Tom Cullen and Simon enjoying a medicinal beverage.Last edited by Herlock Sholmes; 10-09-2020, 12:00 PM.Regards

David Anderson came on Casebook a few times some years ago, I remember quite a few debates with him.Regards, Jon S.Comment

I just checked the members list and assuming that he’s the ‘David Anderson’ that’s listed there he last visited in June of this year.Regards
