Leather Apron: Or, the Horrors of Whitechapel, London. (1888)
Leather Apron; Or, the Horrors of Whitechapel, London.
Sam'l E. Hudson.
Philadelphia, [December] 1888. 76pp.

Arguably the oldest book-length non-fictional treatment of the crimes. Discovered for the first time in 1996, Leather Apron was published in December 1888, only a month after the murder of Mary Jane Kelly. It covers all aspects of the murders, discussing the victims, the letters, the graffito, the newspaper coverage and the abundance of theories surrounding the crimes.
