hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Hardback. 1st edition, SIGNED. Foreword by Donald Rumbelow. One of the most comprehensive books ever written on Jack the Ripper. Compiled in encyclopedic format by 3 of the world's leading experts on the subject, the book contains a wealth of (at the time) new information, many previously unpublished photographs, and details about the hitherto unidentified police suspect Michael Ostrog. The book threw fresh light on the multifarious theories, describes the suspects, gives details of the policemen, politicians and innocent bystanders caught up in the case - providing a wealth of topographical details. By examining various aspects of Victorian society, it also puts the crimes in their proper historical context thereby helping to explain why they created such a sensation at the time and why they continue to exert such a fascination well over a century later. Illus. plus Index of Victims; Index of Suspects; Index of Policemen; Index of Books, Writers and Articles on Jack the Ripper; and General Index. One of the key books on Jack the Ripper, which I would recommend to anyone just starting out on the quest for 'Jack'. 335pp. large 8vo. h/back.
