Hi y'all. Help please. Is JtR: The Complete Casebook pub. 1988 just an updated version of The Complete JtR pub. 1975 - or is the 1988 a different view on the case? Does either book come in paperback? I've got a line on a used hardback for $11.00 - don't know yet which one it is, only that it's by Rumbelow.) Is that a good price? I can only afford to buy one or two books a month & my wish list seems endless ...
Thanks,
Ashling |

Hi again. Ummm ... Misplaced the URL for ABE books, but I just found it again. 10 bucks does seem a good price, especially since both are listed as out of print ... but I still can't tell if the 2nd book has major changes or not.
Take care,
Ashling |

Hi Ashling
JtR. The Complete Casebook, 1988 (Rumbelow) is indeed an updated version of The Complete JtR, 1975 (Rumbelow).
And they both were released in paperback. I have both issues, and a quick comparison of the contents page indicates that the chapters in the later '88 version are of different size, mostly larger, than the earlier '75 version.
Regards, Jon |

Hey Ashling!
I bought the '88 version in paperback for $2.50 at Half Price Books. Of course there is probably less competition for it in Austin than in London. Hardbacks are always nice however. Best wishes. |

| Price update -- I cam across a hardcover copy recently at NYC's Strand Books. It was in excellent condition at $12.00. (I still have my well-thumbed copy at home -- its a great read, well-worth any affordable price.) |

I make no apologies for opening up this old thread but I have an old 1984 STAR paperback version of this book. The blurb on the back cover states ".....the facts and the folk-lore surrounding that mysterious killer who craved not only blood but infamy..."
So that's why he did it !! A Victorian Hinckley. No doubt if he had been caught he'd have had an etching of a famous actress of the time in his coat pocket. Well, it worked....infamy it is!

Hello everyone -- especially collectors.
I have a question.
I stumbled today upon an old copy of Rumbelow's The Complete JtR.
This is an original hardcover copy of an edition from a publisher I'd never heard of with a name like New York Graphics or something like that. It has a plain, solid red cover with no art and two illustrations in the beginning of it. It has the 1975 date and it seems to be from the first edition from this Graphic press (although I'm not sure of this).
So tell me, is this thing worth anything?
Just wondering,
--John |

Hi John -
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the New York Graphic Society edition of Rumbelow is among the most common ones out there. Its the first American edition but it had such a huge print run that you'll tend to find them in most large used book stores in the $10-$15 range, if even that. You can find more information on various Rumbelow editions at http://www.casebook.org/ripper_media/book_reviews/non-fiction/completejack.html

Hi Stephen,
No problem. Thanks. I didn't buy it (even though it was only $2.95), since I already had the latest edition. But I did know it was going to be there when I returned on Friday, just in case.
I also knew someone around here would know about these things.
All the best,
--John |
