Capturing Jack the Ripper - N. R. A. Bell

[Wolf Vanderlinden]

I only bought the book in order to find out exactly who Constable 426H was. I'm kidding (although that was the first thing I looked up). My personal review of the book, for my files, ends with "One of the best books on the subject ever written." So I guess I really liked it.

Hi Gnote,

This matter was discussed on Facebook, however I'm aware some may not have seen it.

Unfortunately it seems it has been removed from there, otherwise I'd cut n paste it on the thread for all to see.

Cheers
Monty


PS I've recovered part of it.

Poster has a question about a Sergeant living on Mile End Road. Figured i'd post the link here for Monty in the event he misses the thread.

Its more a **** up by Amazons US distributor, and it is available via other distributors, such as The Book Depository, however...

...No, not a little of everything, more a lot of everything.

You get to see Dr FG Brown for the first and second time, you find out about coded police messages and whistle signals connected directly to the murders, you find out a little more about the police themselves as well as other bits n bobs which, because there is no fanfare, I suspect many would miss first time around.

Monty

Thank you very much for the answer. That certainly sounds like some intriguing information. I will anxiously await the ebook. The police angle is such a unique one. I hope the sales and everything are worthwhile. Good work should be rewarded.

[Monty]

Well this has certainly been a cluster by the publishing company. A month I late and no ebook. Makes self publishing far more enticing I'd say.

I am interested however. You state that there are more new facts in this book. Are these about the case or police procedural or a little of everything?

Howabout if everyone gave it a really lousy review, nobody wanted to read it, and so nobody nagged on and on about it being delivered late?

PS It ain't going to happen...buy the book and learn!

There's more new facts in my book than any book published in the last twelve months Dave, more than any new suggested contrived theory for that matter.

If the worst comment about the book is that people cannot get it quick enough, then I can live with that.

An update from my publishers

Re the Amazon issue

Hi Neil

I have heard back from our American distributors and apparently there was an ordering mix-up of the shipment of books which contained stock of Capturing Jack the Ripper. I’m very sorry about this! I have been told that it was meant to be available on the 19 January, but as that month’s order was wrong, it was delayed until this month. Casemate in America are expecting this shipment on the 19 February, so with any luck, the books should be available on this date to US customers.



Again, I’m so sorry about this time delay! Hopefully the books will be available soon though.



Best wishes,

Cheers
Monty

According to Amazon it's temporarily out of stock.

I gave it a terrible review without reading it and purchased all available remaining copies in the hope nobody else would want one.

I am going to wait a few years and sell them as rare collectibles.

Monty,

Can you just please circumvent these supply problems. Just send me a freebie. And inscribe it please. THANK YOU!!!

Even I don't get freebies of my own book Scott. I have to pay like everyone else.

I am on to this availability issue which, quite frankly, has seriously pi$$ed me off.
