DETAILS OF A FABULOUS NEW WEBSITE THAT SHOWCASES ALL THE MAYBRICK MATERIAL GATHERED TOGETHER BY CHRIS JONES (organiser of the Mayrbick Trial held in Liverpool, May 2007) and others. To quote Chris 'The aim of the website is to tell the two interlocking stories of Liverpool and the Maybricks in a balanced and impartial manner. There are still many details in both stories to be unearthed. However, as the words of the Maybrick family motto state : "Tempus Omnia Revelat" (Time will Reveal All).' The intention is to build up the archive section, month by month, until it holds a substantial amount of primary source material, plus some reviews/articles etc. Chris would be grateful to receive any other ideas, articles and suggestions. Site address : jamesmaybrick.org Please check it out - it's great!!

Details of the newly opened Jack the Ripper Exhibition. Jack the Ripper and the East End at Museum in Docklands, London E14 (www.museumindocklands.org.uk 0870 4443858), from May 15, 2008.

Welcome to a new-look Loretta Lay Books website, which you will see continues to cater for those interested in not just antiquarian and out-of-print true crime books, but also some of those elusive Jack the Ripper titles.

Apart from the obvious cosmetics, there are other changes, most of which are actually 'behind-the-scenes', to help make the site operate smoothly and efficiently. You will see that payments can now be made via PayPal, as well as by cheque (as long as it is in sterling on a British bank), or directly into my bank account (details will be provided upon request). Unfortunately I will no longer be processing credit cards myself - so apologies to those existing customers this is likely to affect, but it is very simple to sign-up with PayPal. I would actually recommend that you open an account with Loretta Lay Books via the website, for ease of transaction. All information provided is secure, and now of course doesn't involve any credit card information.

The messageboard is still available for those of you who need help with research, or want to promote a true crime book you have written, or for general messages including opinions on any true crime or associated subjects. Reviews of titles you have bought (not just from my site) are most welcome. They don't have to be new books, but anything you consider to be required reading. Having said that, I do prefer positives rather than negatives!

From time to time I will be posting a quiz question, with a true crime book as a prize - so watch this space!

The site can only work successfully with your input - put www.laybooks.com into your 'Favourites' and if you like it, recommend it to your friends.

I hope you find the book you are looking for, but if it's not there, contact me and I'll try to find it for you.

Your comments would be appreciated, so that I can assess what works, and perhaps what doesn't.

Thank you for visiting my website, come back again soon.

Loretta Lay
