    The date Amazon lists for us is the 19th so Monday is the day. If only it would release as a kindle book on the same day. I'm sure Tom knows a guy who for a few quid will get it set up for you.

    Cheers GUT.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
