    My book will be out in a limited edition de luxe hardback on coated paper and with a nice ribbon marker, in November.

    The paperback will follow in early 2014.

      Congrats !
      Where did you get that picture of him? I have never seen it before. He certainly looks the part. Curled up mustache and everything!

      For what it's worth I have always thought chapman is a viable suspect for the ripper.

        You're done?! That was fast... or does it just seem fast?

          Hello Abby and Errata.

          Abby - that was his mugshot photo when arrested. I had it professionally hand-coloured.

          Errata - you are quoted at length in the book. Do you think it happened fast? I started on 11th June 2011.

                The book files are going to the printer soon, and this is my final chance to decide how many to print. So if anyone else wants a copy of the limited edition hardback, would they please let me know ASAP. I don't take payment in advance, just orders.

                Cheers

                      The suspense is killing me....

                      One proof copy of the hardback is in the post (from the printer to me)...

                      I have almost 50 orders now... will be posting them out by the end of the month ...

                          Have just paid! Looking forwarded to it. Hope it sells well.
                          I won't always agree but I'll try not to be disagreeable.
