Jack the Ripper and Victorian London (Gregory, 1995)
Author: Stephen P. Ryder
Wednesday, 15 November 2000 - 12:31 pm |        | This cute little compilation seems to have slipped by most people's attention when it first came out in 1995 - Ripperologist reviewed it a few issues ago, and thanks to Judy Stock, I was able to order a copy from Amazon UK a few weeks ago (it just now arrived). Its a collection of original articles about various matters dealing with the Ripper, the East End, prostitution, etc., and contains a number of lovely illustrations (one of the better ones being a colorized version of the illustrated london news). It now has a page on the Casebook at: http://www.casebook.org/books/book_reviews/roygregory.html.
If you are interested in ordering it from Amazon UK, it DOES take a few weeks to arrive but they do seem to still have some available. I would urge interested parties to HURRY as this is the sort of thing that disappears quickly! It is priced at L7.50.
You can order it at the following URL: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1854503677/casebojacktherip |

Wednesday, 15 November 2000 - 04:31 pm | | I'm not sure if this is important to all who are interested but perhaps it should be pointed out that this is not a book but a collection of loose pages. The pages come in a plastic folder and are called a "Wolf Pack" (intersesting name). While most pages are standard 8 1/2" X 11" there are also smaller 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and larger 11" X 17" (the illustrared pages like the one Steve has shown).
All in all, I can agree with Steve, this is a nice addition to any collection.
