There isn't really a limited guide , all guides are supposed to be hard cover. However the French listing say paperback where as the UK version is hardback. So not sure.
Both the UK and French version have the same ISBN number 978-3869930480.
According to the Future press website it should be hard cover like the UK Amazon has stated.

I think the French Amazon version is just wrong.
