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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Thanks Dane.

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.

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

PS I've recovered part of it.

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.

As someone whose high standing work in the field I've admired since I first came to the boards, oh so many years ago, whose posts, articles and dissertations I read with keen interest, even awe, your words humble me Wolf.

Thank you. I'm really glad you like it.

The kindle book price took me aback at first notice. It's actually MORE expensive to buy the kindle edition than a new hardcover copy here in the States.

However. I am a man of my word and said as soon as a kindle edition would become available I'd purchase it and I did just so. I look forward to reading it and can't wait to dive in.

Hi Neil.

Actually, it was my pleasure. I read almost everything Ripper related and this has become tedious after 40+ years of study. Every once in a while, however, something is published that feels like a breath of fresh air. Recently I have been pleasantly surprised by Helena's book, Jack the Ripper At Last?, Tom's The Bank Holiday Murders, Simon Wood's Deconstructing Jack and your own Capturing Jack the Ripper. Well written, entertaining and filled with new, and fascinating, information, it was an absolute pleasure to read. So, thank you for writing it.

I'm not happy with the pricing Dane, and made my views know.

Thanks Wolf,

Yeah, I really didn't want to write another Ripper book, as I didn't think I would add anything new with regard the murders.

However, ironically, I have included new bits n bobs, and hopefully gleamed a little light on the Victorian bobby.
