For ISBN 0673079473, I have a paperback with this cover:

The current ISBN says hardcover. Can you check your ISBN and see if it is the same or different.

I wonder if they printed the paperback and hardcover with the same ISBN. I will leave this to a super who knows more about this.

All the sources I'm looking at say hardcover, but seeing as you have the book in front of you...

It's entirely possible that they used the same ISBN for both the hardcover and paperback. My dad has a few of these lying around himself (It usually seems to be engineering related stuff).

Much as we sometimes would like it, we supers are not all-knowing. ;)

You know more than I do lafon.

I have seen some textbooks that print all the ISBNs for each format and any associated supplemental materials on the copyright page, making it real easy to get confused if you're not paying close attention.

In this case, it's probably more likely that they just changed the format from one printing to the next. Only the publisher knows for sure (assuming the old guys haven't retired yet).

LCCN 74-78225
On the back of the very last (otherwise blank) page is a series of #s that looks like those related to the printing:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 -KP- 80 79 78 77 76 75 74

Looks like someone changed it to paperback, which is fine. Since Richard is the only one to shelve it, he can have match his edition. ;) If someone comes along later with the hardcover, we would treat it like an Alternate Cover edition.

As long as I have the right title & author for my inventory, I really don't care about the details. When I'm adding a book myself, I like to be as complete & accurate as I can, & it's only a little trouble to take a photo or let you all know about any obvious errors while I've got the book in front of me.

It's good that we change it because we KNOW this edition exists. The hardcover has not been confirmed by anyone, so if someone does come across with it then we will add it then.
