I own two that I think are really good in the sense that they're really useful in examining the case, but I'm not sure if that's the 'good' you're looking for in terms of vacation reading!
If you want something entertaining, but isn't overly long and dry, you might pick up a book called 'The Cases That Haunt Us' by the "real life" Jack Crawford, John Douglas. That book has overviews of several different famous, unsolved cases, including an interesting section about The Ripper (link: http://www.amazon.com/The-Cases-That-Haunt-Us/dp/0671017063). This one is probably the best vacation reading sort of book.
If you don't mind something dry & academic, I like 'The Ultimate Jack The Ripper Companion' by Stuart Evans & Keith Skinner (link: http://www.amazon.com/The-Ultimate-Jack-Ripper-Companion/dp/0786707682). It's the only contemporary source material encyclopedia that I know of.
Finally, there's a book that sort of marries these two types called 'Complete History of Jack the Ripper', but Philip Sugden (link: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-History-Ripper-Philip-Sugden/dp/1841193976). Like the one above, this one is pretty long, but is written in a more accessible way.
If you have a tablet or other mobile device that you're bringing with you, you can always enjoy my favorite Ripper website, http://casebook.org/
