truepenny: artist's rendering of Sidneyia inexpectans (ws: hamlet)

If a person has read Donald Rumbelow's book on Jack the Ripper (variously published as The Complete Jack the Ripper and Jack the Ripper: The Complete Casebook), are there any other nonfiction Jack the Ripper books that one ought to read? I.e., has anything substantially new been said since Rumbelow? (And should I bother with anything pre-Rumbelow?)

Please note, I'm not asking what books about Jack the Ripper have been published since 1975; I can find that out for myself. I'm asking for recommendations about which, if any of them, to read.

I have read a lot of Jack the Ripper books and found "Jack the Ripper-The Final Solution" by Stephen Knight to be a fascinating read.
