Hi John
Maybe the book experts will spot your post.
Casebook Ripper Media/Non-fiction describes the Stewart book as "quite collectable".

John,
To quote Ross Strachan from his Jack the Ripper Handbook ...
'This is without doubt the most sought after Ripper book which is now very scarce. Copies rarely turn up for sale and, when they do, can command a high asking price due to the fact that the book is thought to have had a small print run.'
I've only seen one copy for sale in five years. Because of that, it's difficult to say, but I would think you would easily get £500, maybe more.

I'll have the whole 150 thank you very much, an absolute bargain at that price.
Do you accept Visa? Or shall I send you a Check?
He's quite angry at the moment but would probably still wash your tea cups for you. |
