    No, Maria. I hate to spoil your fun but you didn't get your issue # 119 illegally. I sent it to you and, since I am a member of Ripperologist 's editorial staff, my sending you an issue is not illegal. I know I'm sounding a tad like Nixon - does anyone remember Richard M Nixon? Mind you, if you find illegality thrilling, go ahead and suscribe and we'll send the issues to you in some tortuous and roundabout way. No plain brown envelopes available, I'm afraid, but we'll find the electronic equivalent.

    Incidentally, last time I heard from you you were at the airport in Paris a couple of weeks ago. I hope you're not still waiting for a delayed flight? Anyway, you might be pleased to know that I've been listening to Cecilia Bartoli, Teresa Berganza, Sumi Jo and Angela Gheorghiu singing Rossini. Now, if I could find my Kiri Te Kanawas...

    All the best,
    Eduardo

    Some of you have figured this out and thanks for that but this is what I have just written to Adam Wood:

    Hi Adam

    The download problem that some people are having in trying to get the sample issue from the Rip website is apparently because there is an errant extra backslash after the "http:" code at the beginning, i.e., the download location is

    http:///www.ripperologist.biz/ripperologist118.pdf -- and not the correct address of http://www.ripperologist.biz/ripperologist118.pdf

    I realize you may still be away and might not be able to fix this immediately.

    Thanks

    Chris

    Printed editions of Ripperologist

    The updated Ripperologist website says printed copies of the magazine will be available.This is great news.I like the electronic issues but nothing beats having paper issues on hand to leaf thru whenever you want.I plan on buying a bunch.Any idea how much the printed copies will be?Also,I live in the US and was wondering what the shipping costs would be(approx).

    I am particularly looking forward to reading about Neil's 'major discovery' next issue, which the sneaky git has failed to let on about at all!
    Thanks, tnb. We are also on Facebook where we are posting news of Ripper related events etc in the interim between the "I Beg" column appearing in the mag itself.

    Major discovery by Neil? Now I'm really curious. I'll subscribe very soon (for issue #120), esp. if people stop forwarding me issues “on the sly“. I even got issue #119 “illegally“!

    I was able to download it without a problem. Just FYI in case it's a regional problem.
