This only applies to the last hundred or so hard bound copies of Volume I
that were distributed. Because the original hard cover copies of Volume I
sold out much quicker than the soft bound version, some of the remaining
soft cover copies were re-bound by a company in Ohio (i.e. not the printers
who did the original printing and binding) and, so far as I am concerned,
they did a very poor job of it. You are correct in that it was a simple job
of a soft cover version placed into a hard cover but the mess-up was in the
way the spines were done, i.e. they were far too rigid. No allowance was
made for the lateral expansion and contraction of the spine as the book is
opened and closed so, as a consequence, when the book is opened, it simply
splits apart.
Those hard bound copies of Volume I that were done by the original printer
are fine, as are the hard cover versions of Volumes II and III.
