ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The opportunity to work on such an extraordinary project happens once in a lifetime. Since the day in 1992 that the Diary was first shown to me I have sought the help and guidance of literally hundreds of people. There have been experts, amateur enthusiasts in an astonishing range of subjects from pub signs to body snatching and descendants of anyone connected to the cases of James Maybrick and Jack the Ripper. As the material has continued to pour in it has been collated, researched and checked by my colleague Sally Evemy and forms the backbone of this new, fully updated edition. There are far too many individuals to mention but in particular we are grateful to:

Doreen Montgomery, our agent, whose iron glove conceals a velvet hand and without whose vision the project would not have been born.

Robert Smith, our original publisher. His enthusiasm and consumption of midnight oil went well beyond the call of duty.

Keith Skinner, Paul Begg and Martin Fido who have so generously guided our first faltering footsteps into the world of Jack the Ripper.

Richard Nicholas of Roberts, Moore, Nicholas and Jones of Liverpool, who advised and supported Albert Johnson in all matters relating to the watch.

Roger Wilkes, whose generous gift of the Christie material launched our research.

The late Paul Feldman, whose enthusiasm kept us on our toes and yielded some useful leads.

Naomi Evett of Liverpool Library whose limitless patience was invaluable.
