JACK THE RIPPER A New Theory

Hardback, 1st edn. To quote from Ross Strachan's excellent reference work 'The Jack the Ripper Handbook. A Reader's Companion', he says : 'A hardback book which looks at the murders in twenty six chapters and also boasts fourteen illustrations including portraits of the victims painted by the author from contemporary sketches. This is without doubt the most sought after Ripper book which is now very scarce. Copies rarely turn up for sale and when they do, can command a high asking price due to the fact that the book is thought to have had a small print run.' Illus. 223pp. 8vo. h/back. Original red-lettered black cloth. Lightly browned edges, fr. hinge just beginning to show, internally clean and unblemished. Sl. damage to tail of sp., general shelf-wear to covers, but still a Vg. copy of an exceptionally rare Jack the Ripper title.
