First and foremost, Thank you to everyone who has sent private messages, left comments, sent emails and been in touch to “wish me well”. I really appreciate the support and kind words I have recieved and I am inspired by your messages. Thank you. My Ripper Book of the week this week is……. Jack the Ripper, letters From Hell. By Stewart P. Evans and Keith Skinner. Before I managed to get my hands on my own copy I would hire this out of the local library constantly. It is a fantastic book and one that is a must!! The well written chapters looking at the various stages of Ripper Communication is a great read, and finely illustrated. My fave being the comparisons of suspects handwriting. The authors have painstakingly searched through various repositories for Ripper Letters and reproduced them in this book which is well referenced and so easy to use. Most have the letters have dates of origin, location of origin, and details of it’s intended recipient. For any one with a remote intrest in the case, this is a useful research tool and great starting point for investigations. Being an avid follower of all things Stephenson, I love the chapter looking at his handwriting, which is produced in fine colourful A4 format!! A great read!! |
