Hello everybody, I recently bought a (what I thought would be) a hardcover version of David Lindholm and Peter Svards Knightly Art of the Longsword, however this is the book I received and I wonder if this really is the hardcover version?

Because if it's not Im gonna get some of my money back because it was quite expensive...

I have this book, and the hardcover version is, indeed, a regular hard cover. It looks from your photo that yours most definitely is not, so I would go for the refund if I were you.

I discovered a while back that my copy of this book is missing quite a few pages; it jumps from page 166 to 183. Unfortunately, I only noticed this long after it had been ordered and paid for, so there was no possibility of getting a refund. Be sure to check that the copy you receive, if you get another, has all of its pages.

I'll second that. My version is certainly a hard cover. I didn't even know they made it in a paperback. If it comes in both I'd say it's just a mix-up provided you purchased from a reputable seller.
