Ripperologist Web Site with Sample Issue

[Captain Hook]

I'll subscribe very soon (for issue #120), esp. if people stop forwarding me issues “on the sly“. I even got issue #119 “illegally“!

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

Many thanks, Chris. I look forward to reading it.

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

I've just followed the link and clicked on the link to download the sample and got "The address is not valid". Is it me or is there a problem?

KR,
Vic.

Same thing happenned to me.

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).

Bingo. Click the link. When the error message comes up, simply delete one of the backslashes in your URL and click refresh. Thanks, Chris!

Or else this link should do the job:

It's because you have three slashes after "http:" in the link to the PDF file.

Anyone who has a problem downloading the issue is encouraged to send me a private message with your email address and I will email you the issue. As noted, the fact that some cannot download from the link might be a regional issue or a firewall problem since some are able to do it with no problem.

Excellent work Chris, I have been checking back to see if the new site was up, on and off, for a while now. It was well worth the wait.

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.
