The January 2005 issue is coming along nicely. Barring an unforeseen problem it should be in most everyone's hands by the end of this month.
Here is the cover:
And a summary of contents:
•"When the People Were in Terror" by Norman Hastings. A few years ago Ripper researcher Nicholas Connell discovered these 1929 newspaper articles covering the full series of Whitechapel murders. He's published an analysis of them previously, and shared the text with other authors (Sugden makes a reference to having gotten a copy anyway, don't know who else saw them), but this is the first time the series has been republished for everyone to see first hand. It's too long for most magazines and too short to be a book on its own, but it's just the sort of thing that works well in Ripper Notes now that we regularly surpasses the 100 page mark, so we've got the whole thing. It includes introductory remarks by Nick plus an appendix on why Hastings thought Chapman (Klosowski) was not the Ripper, complete in this issue.
•"The Murder in Cartin's Court" by Don Souden looks at how the early newspaper reports seriously bungled the facts of Mary Jane Kelly's death.
•"The London Police: The View from the Irish Press" by Alan Sharp examines the attitudes of various journalists about those investigating the case.
•Stewart P. Evans with additional information on the legends that psychic Robert Lees solved the case.
•Wolf Vanderlinden on some newspaper reports.
•Jennifer Pegg on the Ghost Club's conference on Jack the Ripper.
•Caroline Morris on the Cloak & Dagger's 10th anniversary/Christmas party.
•The regular columns (Introduction, The Inquest, News & Notes, The Bookcase, and The Whitechapel Letterbox).
Depending upon space there may be a few other things as well. The "Heartless" article I mentioned in the October issue, though, is definitely delayed as being too long to fit with everything else at this point.
Oh, and P.S.: If you aren't a subscriber yet, get your money in now. The $30 ($35 in other countries) for four issues plan is an absolute steal for these books, and I'll be announcing new prices shortly.

Hi Dan
Good to know you are finalizing the issue. Looks as if it will be another strong issue. I look forward to receiving it. I will send you my subscription renewal shortly, and by the way I have another cache of back issues to send you left over from my time as Editor and Co-Editor.
All my best

Hi Chris,
The back issues would be very much appreciated. Oh, and that reminds me, I should really list which back issues are available for sale. I'll have to try to work that in somewhere. I'm already at 110 pages and need to layout the pages for News & Notes and the reviews section, but I think I can get them in somewhere. If not I'll list them in a thread here and then the April issue.

The January 2005 issue turned out to be 120 pages long. It's still at the printing company, but I just heard that the first copy rolled off the press, so it's progressing.
By the way, this is everyone's last chance to get in subscriptions at the current rate of $30 in the US and $35 elsewhere. When this issue gets sent out, as announced in the introduction, prices are going up to take into account all the new content the publication has added. Even the typical 108 page per issue length (when converted to the standard 8 1/2" x 11" size other magazines and the old Ripper Notes format had) comes out to more content in four issues than the other major publication has in six. The new prices will be $40 in the US, $45 in the UK and Canada, and $50 elsewhere. That's for one year/four issues of Ripper-related content in a blended magazine/paperback book format, as well as shipping and handling. On its own or compared side by side with the competitors that's still a bargain.
If you'd like to get your subscription in now and beat the price increase, check our website at www.RipperNotes.com for the online credit card payment option or the mailing address for checks or money orders. Alternatively, if you are in the UK, you can send a check for £20 made out to Jennifer Pegg (who handles European mailings) to her address at: Jennifer Pegg, RN subscriptions (After the January issue is out, prices will be £25 in the UK, or £28 if you are somewhere else in Europe but still find paying in British pounds more convenient than US dollars.)

"International Journal for Ripper Studies", as opposed to 'North American" or "American". Smart move since these days everyone hates/is jealous of America. Just ask Nick Warren. I'm very much looking forward to the new issue. You're doing a great job, Dan!

Monty,
Glad to hear you don't hate us. And no, I don't wonder why. I know why. We're #1, and that in itself breeds a certain amount of animosity. England used to be the world power, and was greatly hated. As we're all aware, it treated many of its own citizens like crap in a way America could not understand. That's why it's a little amusing, and to say the least, hypocritical, to hear so many Brits bashing America for its power. Please pardon my rant, but I just read the latest issue of Ripperana, a magazine struggling to alienate its American competition AND readership.
Yours truly,
Tom Wescott
P.S. I've been warned that if an American goes to London he should pretend to be a Canadian or else he'll be treated like crap. How nice. |

Tom..
Seriously bro,I don't get that impression from any Ripper websites..
Only on a very rare occasion does somebody wake up on the wrong side of the bed and blast us...In fact,its usually the other way around. People busting the Brits' balls about being "cold and empirical" and that sort of onanistic crap.
Hey,if anyone wants to break our stones,let 'em. I'm pretty sure that no one takes that provincialistic jargon too seriously and if they did its their prerogative...one ear and out the other.
Putting it this way,homes...If that were true,you wouldn't be acknowledged in Letters From Hell by Mr. Evans/Mr.Skinner...and you were.
Actually,I contemplated [privately,behind a bottle o' beer while thinking up Welsh jokes...hey,I ain't perfect !],that Dan changed the name due to the fact that Australians,Italians and Canadians were involved recently with the last two issues...
Like Martin Luther The King said..."We is all in de same boat..." Or was that Nietzsche?

As I mentioned in the July 2004 issue, I always thought "the American Journal" subtitle sounded kind of limiting. But the clincher, as Howard guessed, is that the contributors come from all over the world. The October issue had four authors from England, three from the U.S., and one each from Australia, Canada and Italy (plus one of the letters to the editor was from Holland). That's a fairly decent range of nationalities. The January issue adds Ireland, April's looks like it will have an author from Germany, and we may pick up contributors from other countries later.

Tom,
If you’re serious about your above post then no, I will not pardon your rant.
Statements like “we’re No 1” and inferring Britain (not England) “treated many of its own citizens like crap” (as opposed to the USA? who has a wonderful record with its own natives) is antiquated, supercilious, racist bollox. And thats line the Brits bash you Americans for.
I know the good and bad things (plenty on both counts) my country has bought to this world and its no different to any other nation on earth. Basically, as usual (couldn’t resist that one) you are some years behind us and have yet to learn the perils of imposing an ideal, no matter how just and correct it is, on other nations.
Understand now?
And I am staggered why you should keep subscribing to/reading a journal that you so obviously despise. Why? Why support such a magazine? I do not understand such actions.
Yours sincerely,
Monty
PS A story. On the bus some time back. An American lady got on and asked to go to an area in Leicester called Vaughan Way. The bus driver informed her, very politely, that Vaughan Way wasn’t on the route and the closest he went to there was St Margarets Way.. He was then yelled at and accused of being an ‘anti American a$$hole’. Talk about crap treatin. How nice. See some good, some bad.
Y’ all should relax more

Hello all,
I was having fun with Dan. I support the change to 'International' 100%, because that's exactly what it is. Unlike Ripperana, Norder welcomes anyone with a good mind to contribute to his journal, regardless of nationality.
Monty,
By '#1' I'm referring to our status as leading world super power. You knew that, you were just being semantical. And it's not racist, as I'm as white as your Prime Minister. I have no delusions about my country's status. We're destroying ourselves from within and our reign won't last. Having said that, if these other countries don't want our influence they needn't buy our products, watch our shows, or look to us to bail them out when they get into trouble. England, as #2 world power, has similar influence. Outside of Europe England is thought of generally as no different than America, and is despised or loved equally. As to why I continue to support Ripperana - I don't. I haven't paid for an issue in a very long time. They just keep showing up. And I've never contributed. I continue to review it for two reasons: 1) it's the cheapest of the Ripper mags, and because of that, it will attract a certain number of unwary subscribers, who aren't aware of the vast difference between the mags. I hope to steer as many as possible in the direction of Ripper Notes and Ripperologist; 2) I have fun with it, and with all the bickering and bad blood flowing through these boards, a little levity can't hurt.
Yours truly,
Tom Wescott |

I just returned from there, and I thought folks very as friendly as usual. Of course, I happen to think New Yorkers are reasonably warm to travellers, so YMMV.

OK, so, it's February now... Did my prediction that most every subscriber would have it in January hold up? Any comments on the articles? Which image do you think should have gone on the front cover, the one that's there or the one on the back?

REVIEW - Issue #21, January 2005
Subscribers to Ripper Notes these days are more like members of a quarterly book club. How so, you say? Well, the latest issue comes in at 120 pages (okay, the last one's blank, so sue me), which makes this the Danny Devito of Ripper mags - short and fat - as opposed to Ripperologist (the John Kerry of Ripper mags: tall, thin, and, according to varied opinion, unsure of whether its pro or anti-Diary!)and Ripperana (the Michael Jackson of Ripper mags. Nuff said).
The look is fantastic. I love the cover to this issue (though the orange could have been a TAD more brown - hey Dan, you asked!). The back cover is great, as well. It wouldn't hurt to put the issue number on the front, though, for easier reference. This is currently the best looking Ripper mag out there. But what of the meat? Let's take a look:
Introduction - 'Read All About It' by Dan Norder: You'll notice he calls it 'introduction' and not 'editorial'. This, no doubt, plays upon the book motif. Dan's a man of few words, so this two page editorial, for him, is really something. Given the amount of typos, this must have been the last thing written before this issue went to press. He sets up the theme of the issue (how the papers covered the Ripper murders) and then informs readers of a slight increase in subscription rates. To me, this is good news, because it means he'll be able to keep up the same standard of quality he's set since his debut with the mag at issue #20.
The Murder In Cartin's Court, by Don Souden: This is a very cool piece (I loved the intro) about how the press covered the Kelly crime, and how they royally screwed it up. He brings up a few observations that hadn't occurred to me, and I'm always grateful for that. One big irony of this article is how Souden was politely lambasting the contemporary press for, among other things, getting the name of Kelly's home wrong, when all along HE was doing the same by putting that apostrophe in Millers (yes, it's Millers Court, NOT Miller's Court). Of course, we've all made that mistake at one time or another, but I couldn't resist pointing that out.
The London Police: The View From the Irish Press, by Alan Sharp: Those of you who are buying Alan's new book (and if you're not you damn well should be) will have to get this issue, because Sharp's piece here is essentially a supplement to his book, derived primarily from sources he did not use in the book. It's a bit of a dry read, but as its focus is on what England's red-headed stepchild (Ireland) thought of the investigation, or more appropriately, what the papers in Ireland thought. Pretty saucy. I look forward to more articles by Sharp, though a little butter on the toast would be nice.
Contemporary News Reports: Isn't That Interesting, by Wolf Vanderlinden: Yes, indeed it is. In this piece, Vanderlinden takes some press notices that, over the years, have caught his eye for one reason or another, and explores the truth behind them. Of particular interest to me was the possibility that Scotland Yard sent the New York City police a copy of the 'From Hell' letter. Hmmm...
When the People Were In Terror, by Norman Hastings: Normally, stuff like this turns up as $20 reprints ($40 by the time Loretta Lay is the only source left), so I was delighted to find this lengthy piece (over 50 pages long) from 1929 inside of a mag I already subscribe to. Hastings was a journalist who claimed to have had access to the files long before many went missing. Because of this, I found some of his statements rather interesting. Nothing earth-shattering here, but definitely a must have for the collector of materials from the first 50 years of the crimes.
R.J. Lees Again, by Stewart Evans: Lees is not of particular interest to me, but here the indefatiguable Stewart Evans turns up new sources of information on that old Lees chestnut. Anyone who still thinks there's something to it should check this out.
Ghost Club Presents: A Day With Jack, by Jennifer Pegg: Apparently a bunch of ghostbuster wannabes put on a day-long Ripper conference, and Jennifer was there to get the scoop. Among the speakers was Stewart Evans, so I've gotta give them credit for taste. A guy named Stephen Butt...I wanna type that again...A guy named Stephen Butt gave an obligatory talk on your friend and mine, R.J. Lees (see last article review), and Philip Hutchinson, who seems to be a pretty cool guy from what I could tell from chatting with him over at Casebook Jr., gave a talk on the various ghost stories associated with the Ripper case (usually the victims). Oddly enough, the very first article to appear in the very first issue of Ripperologist (then called simply 'Cloak and Dagger Club Newsletter') was about Liz Stride's ghost haunting a club. If all this isn't enough, Norder goes one further by publishing an article WRITTEN by a ghost!
A Cloak & Dagger Club Christmas, by Caroline Morris: The annual Christmas party thrown by that famous group of London Ripperphiles that created Ripperologist magazine and operated it as their club 'zine before Paul Begg absconded with it, Polly Nichols-style, and turned it loose as an independent journal. None other than Frances 'Carrotty Nell' Coles was there (picking up Caz's slack when she became too tipsy to write) to turn in this lively report of the festivities. There's a picture of Caz kickin' it old school with Fagan...oh wait, that's Alan Sharp. I was really kicking myself for being on the wrong side of the pond that night until I saw the pic of Andy Aliffe and Adam Wood dressed as constables with dog masks on (Burgho and Barnaby). That's some freaky s*%t, but waddaya want, it's Aliffe. All kidding aside, it sounds to have been an awesome time. When one of these days I finally go to London, a Cloak & Dagger meeting is right at the top of my list of things to do, though I'm sure I'll do it pseudononymously. The big downer of this piece is that Caroline Morris totally dissed Carrotty Nell and took the byline. First she gets ousted from the canon, and now this. Geez, Caz.
From the Newspaper Morgue, by Wolf Vanderlinden: Kind of a new take on Chris Scott's popular 'Newspaper Trawl' in Rip, only this time the obscure reports will be followed by Wolf's commentary. I'm not sure I care for the 'Newspaper morgue'title, as I don't believe there's any such thing and, anyway, it sounds kind of lame. I'm sure others will disagree, but I found this installment to be a bit lackluster. It's from the Nov. 10th, 1888 edition of the Brooklyn Eagle and is the earliest report Wolf has found to date discussing the Ripper's 'arrival in America'. I didn't see much here of scholarly interest and, apparently, he's following up with another edition of the 'Ripper in North America' theme in the next issue. I look forward to Wolf's return to REAL Ripperland - London - soon.
The Inquest, by Jennifer Pegg: Peggs shows that, unlike Nick Warren, her finger is NOT warm and moist, but instead is firmly planted on the pulse of Ripperology. The readers respond to her questions from last issue. Always a fun column.
News & Notes, by Dan Norder: In this issue Norder takes an almost Ripperologist-style approach in lightheartedly covering about everything going on out there that has even the loosest connection to the Ripper. Here he throws his tupence in on that damned watch report. Only a column and a half, though.
The Bookcase, by Norder and Vanderlinden: Wolf 'highly recommends' the 2005 edition of the Casebook CD-ROM (which I didn't even know existed but will now have to buy); Wolf also recommends, albeit with caution, Chris Morley's 'JTR: 150 Suspects' in a review that's probably longer than the book; Dan Norder gives the low down on Ripperopoly; Norder then devotes a page to reviewing the last issue of Ripperologist. No doubt space constraints kept him from writing rave upon rave for my article in the issue, but he spelled my name right, so I'm happy. He was confused (as was I) as to why this anniversary issue of Rip didn't go more into their history, but gave it a very favorable review and hopes they keep it up (i.e. actually running Ripper articles) in future issues. From what I hear, they will be.
Whitechapel Letterbox: Former editor Christopher-Michael Digrazia (who no longer returns my e-mails and STILL has my Overton-Fuller book) offers his words of praise and encouragement, and Paul Begg chimes in with a long response to RN's review of his book, The Facts. This is a must-read for anyone confused as to how Begg reached his conclusion that Chapman WAS drunk at the time of her murder. A rather convincing argument, I must say. Though I find his argument for discounting PC Long's testimony regarding the Goulston Street apron to be less than convincing.
Well, that wraps it up. Needless to say, it was an awesome issue. I'm kind of getting tired of saying that, cuz I'm sure it sounds as if I'm swinging from Dan Norder's nutsack. I assure you that's not the case. The guy totally trashed my D'Onston/Ripper letters article (last issue of Rip) on the boards and is completely bull-headed when it comes to anything D'Onston. But hey, he edits a great magazine, and as long as he does that, I suppose I'll give him good reviews. Same goes for anyone. No sack-swinging here, folks, only honesty. So head on over to www.rippernotes.com and subscribe now. If you're too cheap or simple in the head to do that, then all I can say is www.zodiackiller.com. Until next time, I'm out like Jon Omlor's bottle of Valium.

I have nothing to add to Tom's delightful review...indeed, even if I wanted to, the image of Tom tarzanning through the boards by way of Norder's genitals has rendered me quite incapable of the together words stringing sentences the forming.
I would like to add an agreement that the orange color of this offering was quite nauseating. Dan, hire someone who knows something about design! Or at least save it for the Halloween issue.

Tom,
I'm not sure I care for the 'Newspaper morgue' title, as I don't believe there's any such thing
Every newspaper I ever worked for had a "morgue." Sometimes it was just a collection of bound volumes of old issues, but often was much more: clippings from other newspapers, notes, correspondence, photos and so forth on any number of previous stories and personalities. True, an on-line search today will yield a lot of that information but not everything is yet on-line and a newspaper's morgue remains a great resource.

Ally,
I'm glad you enjoyed the review. I thought it was rather tame, myself. I think you're being a bit hard on Dan. The gay orange aside, I think his layout abilities are great. Of all the various magazines out there celebrating the wholesale slaughter of women, RN is the best looking.
Don,
Thank you for that. I didn't know that was a legitimate newspaper term. I still imagine they could come up with something that goes down a little smoother.

The fact that there was a photo of Caz [ which I unabashedly have over my computer and its the same one in the magazine..] says it all for me.
The crew that work on this magazine really deserve credit for their work....howsabout a subscription to it? Its either that...or I'll move into your neighborhood !!!! I swear to God..I mean it !
Great work,and as an alternative opinion to Ally's on the cover color...Orange was good for me. Then again,the Flyers wear orange and I am from Philly....
May I also add that the people that I show R.N. to [ read: bombard with Ripper related talk] who also liked Ripperologist very much,really liked the digest size of the magazine,the professionalism and the print size [ yeah,I asked 'em..] and its variety of content.
Special hats off to Don for his story.Nice job,sir ! |

Hi, Dan
I am pleased to report that I received my subscription copy of issue no. 21 of Ripper Notes and am currently reading it. Thanks for your kind words about our tenth anniversary issue of Ripperologist and the bounty of different articles on the case, mainly centering around press coverage of the Ripper crimes, as per the stated cover theme.
As a former editor of Ripper Notes, I join your immediate predecessor, Christopher-Michael DiGrazia, who writes to you a kind letter in "The Whitechapel Letterbox" in the issue, in complimenting you on what you are doing as Editor of "RN." Dan, you are a worthy successor to the both of us who occupied the "hot seat" before you. Keep up the excellent work, Dan. 
All my best
Chris
