I'm not certain, but I don't think it was ever published as a hardcover.
When I got my copy, I don't remember ever seeing it that way, at least.

I agree that its the sort of book you'd rather have in hard than soft-bound,
but two years after reading it, I'm not sure I'd agree that it's all that
"wonderful". For one thing, it's harder reading than many college
textbooks, and for another, it struck me that LOTS and LOTS of what he was
trying to say was just a bunch of fluff and trying too hard for effect.
