Running a little behind this week, but I will explain all in another post shortly. This week, I have been re-reading The London of Jack the Ripper, Then and Now! This fantastic book is worthy of any historian or ripperologists shelves, it has some of the greatest pictures of the local, in a clear well presented, and researched piece. The guys pulled off a major coup by obtaining “The Whitby Collection”, a series of wonderful shots including Hanbury Street! The pictures are crisp, clear and not fuzzy like earlier books of this type. The writing style is concise and easy to understand, firing fact after fact at such a fast pace, that you have finished reading it before you realise! A great book by two fantastic guys! |

I can only agree with this wonderful post, Mike. It is indeed a truly wonderful book and I strongly recommend it to everyone.
Rob’s an arse, though.
