Is this book a myth in hardcover?

I attempted to purchase the hardcover version of "Purge the Unclean" off of Amazon.com. The seller sent me the softcover version in the mail and stated that there is no hardcover version of the book and that Amazon made an error on their posting. Well, I came to the Fantasy Flight Games site and see in the link above that they do list a hardcover version of "Purge the Unclean".

Is the seller accurate that this book was never made in hardcover?

Thanks!

Your seller's information is incorrect. I have the hardcover version sitting on my bookshelf.

Thanks Schoon.

That's what I thought.

There is not a single copy of PTU hardcover in the city of Vancouver British Columbia or it's many adjacent districts. Or IHB hardcover for that matter. If it has'nt arrived by now, I honestly don't believe it ever will. Not that terribly disappointing, as I already have the originals. But very strange to say the least. Even though I know people have them in other parts of the world, I am begining to think they actually don't exist at all!

The 1st ed was softcover, and the 2nd ed is hard cover. Content wise they are the same. My understanding is the 1st ed was in the pipe when DH went from BI to FF.

Actually I would'nt mind getting the hardcover of PTU so I can muck up the old softcover one wth GM notes etc. and the hardcover of IHB for the extra errata, color and durability (for the players). But again, not really necessary.
