Personally I don't like paperback editions. They are not a "real book" in the old meaning of the word. Paperback versus hard cover are like restaurant versus fast-food bar.

I prefer buying hardcover books because they cost twice as much, so the info in them must be twice as valuable, and this makes me feel more intelligent when i look at the unread book in my To Read/Review shelf.
Yes! You've got me! :shock: That's the reason I prefer hardcovers. And never touch my hardcover books standing on the shelf in the living room! :evil: They look so pretty! :wink:

Yes, I have a copy of RFA in paperback. I purchased it in a bookstore called Akshara in Hyderabad, India almost 4 months back. But it is a UK publication and is available on Amazon.co.uk. With the shipping costs I don't know whether buying from UK site will make any financial sense. But anyway here is the link http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos...445/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/026-8866636-1874861.
