I can see why Robert, he's missing three...er...limbs.

What do you call a girl with one leg and no arms standing against a wall?

Eileen.

Congrats to Jennifer Pegg, the new man-aging edit her.

Don,

Bar graphs? You're giving me bar graphs? Bring back the pie charts, buddy, or it'll mean the end of your cabal! The Bar Graph Society just doesn't have a ring to it.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Robert]

Don Souden in his hitchhiking days. In ten years, only one old lady ever stopped.

Darn! And I was so hoping they would put a rendering of the Apollo Belvedere over my name instead of that raggedy (but, alas, accurate) picture of me in the "Meet the Team" sectiuon.

Don.

Hot off the electronic presses once again is the monthly fix of informed articles, news and reviews that is Ripperologist magazine.

With a recent restructuring of the Rip's editorial line-up, we open this issue with Meet the Team - a chance to get to know those on board the good ship Ripperologist.

Adam Wood's editorial follows with Coloured by Context, a look at reaction to the Museum in Docklands' Jack the Ripper and the East End exhibition.

In the first of a two articles on Mary Kelly, Leanne Perry, in Will You Lend Me Sixpence?, takes a closer look at the men in Mary's life. Bob Hinton then asks how safe was Caroline Maxwell’s testimony? in Maxwell Under the Microscope.

It’s Madness! state Jennifer Pegg and Don Souden, as they take another look at the Ripperologists in our midst.

Jenni and Adam return with their regular columns, and does Chris Scott with his superb Press Trawl.

We then report on the very latest news and reviews to round off the issue.

And that's not all - future issues will include articles on Buck's Row, Teaching Jack the Ripper, Maybrick, and anti-Semitism - not to mention the sight of the first known photograph of a major suspect. All coming soon in the Rip! 6 all-colour issues direct to your email inbox for just £12. Subscribe now!
