Thanks for the link LT...

You're welcome. I think the one great book left to write about Jack is the one that focuses on Jewish people at the time and how contemporary attitudes influenced the investigation. I believe Chris George is working on a book similar to this?

Correct. I am due to publish an article in Ripperologist on anti-Semitism in Victorian Britain and then to get the book on Jack the Ripper and the Jews out finally.

Quite a good read especially the section on the graffiti but note how the author conveniently omits the Anderson stuff which he must have known about.
