Once you have examined the contents of my Web Site you too may well become one of the happy band who have become infected by this absorbing subject. Certain aspects such the life and works of Henri Boudet for example, would fill an entire shelf of books. There are hundreds, if not thousands of books covering this mystery all of which approach the problem from different angles. For the absolute beginner, if you would like to carry out your own research, my advice initially would be to try to stick to hard evidence. Once you have digested the facts, then you can branch out to investigate specialized areas.
Information concerning the true facts is somewhat thin on the ground but can be found.
It is a thorough and very factual account of the story with emphasis on actual documentation. A really excellent book. Most other works written on the subject are composed mainly of the theories of their authors all of whom explore particular aspect of the mystery and offer their own theories. Please also consult the Bibliography included in this site and do also access other web sites which are rich in material and offer further scope for the enthusiast.
