New Book! "By the Way: Dispatches, Devotions, and Deliriums from the Camino"

[Splate]

From the publisher:

A moving, funny and fascinating account of a religion scholar's 5-week pilgrimage down the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain. Is the journey more important than the destination? Are some pilgrimages more "authentic" than others? Can agnostics have as deep a spiritual experience as true believer? Find out what happens when a scholar puts down his books and takes up his walking stick.

Available on iTunes Store.

Is it available as a "real" book?

 

[Splate]

Unfortunately, no.

Why not? SY

The author calls it a "booklet", Kindle gives an average reading time of 1hr 46min, so I think it's probably not long enough for a paperback edition.
However, I just read the first pages and I like what I see very much. It's this kind of "philosophical" camino memoirs I really like. Will buy the ebook.

Why not? SY

It's more like a long essay, not really big enough for a printed "book." Besides, it'd cost twice as much if it were in paperback!

89 pages equivalent should do for a printed book also ;-) SY
