Tolkienbooks.net (which I trust) lists the 1999 Poems from the Hobbit as a mini hardback. Wherever I search on the net to buy the book, using the same ISBN, it's always described as paperback/softcover. Only the Houghton Mifflin version comes up as hardback. Is there a softcover or is this just an error that's become attached to the book?

I have the mini hardback version, which is a 2nd impression, and this is the only version that I am aware of and the ISBN number is correct on Tolkienbooks.net, they also have an ISBN13 number
9780261103894 on the back of the book which is not referenced on Tolkienbooks.net
http://www.tolkienbooks.net/php/details.php?reference=25450Having searched abebooks for these they are coming up as paperback but I think that is just listing errors, though if you are thinking of buying one, I would ask the seller to confirm that it still has the dust wrapper.
