Excellent

I had to write a research paper on the Ripper murders, and I found this book invaluable. Grab it as soon as possible. I reccommend it 100%

Excellent Reference

This book written in encyclopedia form, lists all the people associated with the Jack the Ripper murders such as witnesses, informants, suspects, residents, inspectors, etc. There is a summary for each person mentioned, which is very informative. This is an excellent source to have by your side when reading other books on the Ripper. It is invaluable!

How to keep your Ripper suspects in order!

I have been reading about Jack the Ripper casually for the last 20 years. I recently decided to get serious and read as many books as possible. What a mess of suspects and stories and possible victims..... This book will help you to keep everything straight. The book is set up like an encyclopedia, so when you are reading another Ripper book this one will serve as a reference guide. The research is documented. All in all a wonderful book in my search for information on 'Jack'.

The ultimate Ripper companion

Anyone with more than a passing interest in the Whitechapel Horrors will want to make sure they have this book handy as they read any other work on the subject. Many Ripper books are written seemingly presupposing a certain degree of knowledge on the part of the reader. If you find you don't have that knowledge, this book will fix that in a hurry. It is simply a "must have" on the subject.

The ultimate Jack the Ripper reference

Looking for the best book ever written on the elusive Whitechapel Fiend? This is it. This book is not really for the beginning "ripperologist" (the encyclopedia format makes it difficult to get a grounding in the facts), but if you have a little more experience, the _A to Z_ will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about Jack the Ripper
