Second time reading this. When I bought this I demanded the Hard-back because I originally bought it brand new when it was released. I read it every day for at least 2 hours until done then re-read certain chapters & sections for referencing etc. I lost my copy to a vicious room-mate... So yeah! I'm excited to have a good copy of this in my possession again and this time, no matter who asks... NO!
It's MINE MINE MINE!!!
