Afraid not. I agree with you - I always like a hard copy. But the sales difference between the hard copy earlier edition and the ebooks was hugely in favour of the latter. I assume that at 900 pages no one can carry it - although very useful to prop open sash windows.

Will the government’s immigration plans be good for our universities?

As a paranormal investigator, Joe Nickell was in high demand, studying ghosts, the Loch Ness monster, crop circles and appearances of Jesus, including one on a tortilla.
