This week’s book has to be the one and only “The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Sourcebook, An Illustrated Encyclopedia” by legends of the genre Stewart P. Evans and Keith Skinner. This book is the largest collection of primary Sources on the events that led up to the horrific “Whitechapel Murders”, covering witness statements, press reports, inquest reports, letters to the police, and loads more!! My fave section covers Robert D’Onston Stephenson but there is so much this book has to offer. I recomemd this to anyone with an intrest in Jack the Ripper, The Police, True crime, Social History, Victorian History!! It’s one of the most valuble ripper research tools I use, and should be a part of your collection too!! |

Mike;
I am sure that you would give a leg, as I would, just to have the report made following the Marsh Deposition on December 24th,1888. Should anyone out ther have this document and be in need of a new leg, please contact either Mike or myself.
The Ultimate also notes the title of the file which The Roots Report appears in : “Davies-Stephenson-Marsh”..
Its the only file I know of with three names appearing on a file folder description.
