What book should I get next?

[GUT]

Thanks Pat definitely not in Aus at this stage.

A-Z in e-book would be one time where e-book would be good for the search function.

You might guess I'm not a big fan of e-books.

[Monty]

Did Monty say if a digital version of his book will be available soon?

That is the plan, as to when? I've not idea.

I'm waiting for the Chinese version, Neil.

Neither am I but the postage to Australia on books bought on Amazon etc almost doubles the price of the book!

Yep that's why I ended up with Tom's on Kindle. Postage was more [yes MORE] than the book.

Just wanted to post and say that after Gut highly recommended JTR At Last? I checked on Amazon and if you have Prime in the U.S. (maybe elsewhere) you can borrow the book for free to read on your kindle or app. It will be my first suspect book I read and after the high praise I look forward to it.

Reading through this thread has caused me to go on a bit of a buying spree too. I'm sure it has had the same effect on multiple others as well.

Word to the wise. JTR At Last argues that Chapman was NOT the Ripper, so not your typical suspect book. It is exquisitely researched and written however so please don't take this as a suggestion not to get it. You most certainly should! But going into a book expecting one thing and getting another might spoil it so I thought I should let you know.

Yours truly,

Thanks. That actually makes it more interesting to me! Such a great approach. I wish someone would do the same for Lechmere. Oops. Slipped out.

They have. Pretty much every Ripper book, in fact. All of which (but one) who have him as a witness and not JTR. Lechmere's still a better suspect than most who are peddled in the books you're about to be wading knee deep in.

Fortunately I am smart enough to lean on the knowledge of others who have done the wading already to try and save myself as much harm as possible.

[GUT]

Have I said Neil Bell's Capturing JtR again not really even a "Ripper" book, but a ripper of a book

You are subscribing to Ripperologist magazine, aren't you? If not, that's step #1. And it's free.

I am very interested in this one as well. As soon as it comes out as a Kindle book I will have a go at it.

Yes I am. I also have all the old Casebook Examier issues as well. Though I admit, even though my interest in the Examiner was because of your La Grande article, I have yet to read it because both the Examiner and Ripperologist are so dense with information.

Cheers GUT.

Not for me to say you are correct. Not for me to say at all.
