First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Cover design by Hammond Hammond (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression, decorated boards & maroon cloth spine, no jacket as issued. Some minuscule edge wear to top of covers, corners very slightly bruised, price on back cover (£15.99), publisher's advertising sticker to front cover, no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 299pp, illustrated. The pages of The Diary of Jack the Ripper reveal the unimaginable, that over a century ago, the legendary serial killer at work in London's Whitechapel kept a record of his bestial mutilations of women. The writer of the horrific journal is James Maybrick, a depraved drug taking, womanising, 49 year old Liverpool cotton merchant with a history of domestic violence. In this analysis of his diary, investigative author Shirley Harrison explains all about the origins of the text, the rigorous scientific analysis it has endured and reveals startling new information about Maybrick's shadowy background. All this combines with a chilling confession scratched into a watch, 'I am Jack. J Maybrick,' provide powerful justification that Maybrick was Jack the Ripper. The diary itself is reproduced in full, so that you too can judge whether these are the deeply distributing words of Jack the Ripper himself, reaching out from across the abyss of more than a century.
