I won't make you spend money. Here's an excerpt

Who is in here in the woods? It is an Irish man.

The Irish man is strong and rough. He has red hair. Birds and animals are around him. He is happy.

He walks on the west side of the forest and looks out at the sea.
What does he see? It is a longship with Vikings.

The Irish man is not happy now.

I strongly suggest going through a painful but exhilarating failed conversion to Catholicism while you're doing this, you'll enjoy it more.

this seems like appropriate thread to ask.
i'm buying Revolt Against Modern World, but on Book Depository it says it's paperback and 417 pages, but on Amazon only hardcover is available (i'm not eligible for free shipping there, so i don't know what the final price would be).
according to ISBN they provided it should be hardcover as well.
in Goodreads' list of editions i don't see paperback as well.
is it possible that BD fucked up or are they up to something?
