Jack the Ripper and Ramsgate

One of my more successful ventures in the last month has been the publication of Chris Scott’s book “The Ripper in Ramsgate” Chris is obviously well respected by others interested in Jack the Ripper.

A couple of reviews have appeared on the internet click here to read, many thanks to those who make the effort, independent appraisal of the local books I publish is particularly helpful to those people who can’t get to the bookshop and order by post.

I do my best with descriptions of the books on our website, try to put up sample text from them, also as I print them, as I need them, I have no incentive to promote one book more than another, the problem though is with quite a few of the titles I lack the specialist knowledge to make a decent appraisal.

I get someone else to write the descriptions for our ebay shop and the feedback there is helpful.

Jack The Ripper

I have published the introduction and the first chapter of the Ripper in Ramsgate, as I promised in my previous post, last Friday when I published the book. Sorry about the delay the computer was feeling unkind.

The Ripper in Ramsgate

I am just printing a new book about The Ripper in Ramsgate A5 50 pages £3.99 post free in the UK.

In the autumn of 1888 a series of brutal murders gained lasting fame and will be forever associated with the name of "Jack the Ripper." This infamous and unidentified killer has passed into folklore and myth as the most notorious murderer in history. The Whitechapel murders became a cause celebre which spread suspicion and speculation to all parts of the country. This book examines some of the connections between these infamous killings in the East End of London and a seaside town in the East of Kent, our very own Ramsgate.
Who was the mysterious lodger who stayed in Ramsgate two years after the murders?
Why did the brother of one of the main suspects come to live in Ramsgate?
Who was the eccentric artist who lived and taught in Thanet, believed by some to be Jack the Ripper?
What was the connection between Ramsgate and a former lover of the Ripper's last victim?
