While I'd love to have a hardcover copy, I can't justify spending the money since it looks like there is no real extra content there. That said, its a great book to have and to read. I haven't gotten the chance to put the principles into practice yet because I'm so busy with school, but eventually it will happen. I don't think you'll be disappointed with your purchase.

Word of mouth is just as powerful though, as I had absolutely no interest to buy a 2nd copy of a book I already owned until you said, "It will look great on a coffee table [...]". Thankfully, I don't yet own a coffee table of my own, but if I did, I'd curse your name for mentioning that and making me pull out MY wallet. :) They got my money on their first round of marketing for the book, and the timing was also rather perfect.
