Relativity by Albert Einstein

Was about to buy the new edition of Relativity by Albert Einstein when I noticed this: "Beautifully bound in paper blocked with holographic foil with a design by Daniel Streat ." Does "Beautifully bound in paper ..." mean what I think it means - paperback and not hardcover.

You cannot be serious, especially when there are ample photographs showing the volume in question on the Folio website.

>1 SnowyDoc: I'd rather not comment on the beauty but photos on the website indicate a hardcover. 'Bound in paper blocked with holographic foil' means paper sides, much like 'marbled paper sides' or 'printed cloth sides'.

>1 SnowyDoc: No I think it's probably hardcover with a paper binding rather than a cloth one.

It's hardcover but has a paper cover over the boards instead of a cloth cover.
