About this Item

Hardback. 1st edn. SIGNED BY KEITH SKINNER. 'Every bit as mysterious as the Whitechapel murders themselves, the 'Ripper Diary' has intrigued and infuriated both historical researchers and 'Ripperologists' since it first came to light in 1992. Either one of the most sensational finds of the 20th century or one of its most brilliant literary hoaxes, the diary of Jack the Ripper has created its own tangled and tortuous history. It is this history which the authors disentangle in a work of literary sleuthing. They offer a masterful reassessment of the evidence and a wealth of insight into the personalities involved in the diary story. An intriguing and compelling investigation which will appeal to all interested in true crime and especially to all fascinated by Jack the Ripper.' Illus. + Index. 280pp. lge. 8vo. h/back. As usual an excellently produced book from Sutton Publishing. With tipped-in label SIGNED BY KEITH SKINNER. With v. lightly browned edges o/w Nr. F. in F. dw.
