Was there ever a hardcover collection of the MOS? I've been casually looking on eBay, etc for one? I recall something being advertised (back when the title was released) about a special edition hardcover. I can't find any reference on the internet to confirm an existence of one.
Anyone?

I don't think it has ever been released as a hardcover. It hasn't been released that much as a TPB, for that matter.

I have the 1993 Man of Steel trade, that's the only version I've seen in tpb form.

The one I have at the house is a blue cover with Superman from the last page of MOS on it.

The most recent printing of MoS was vol. 1 of the MAN OF STEEL trade
paperback series, reprinting all the Superman comics of the time in
chronological order.
(And about the edition pictured above: the only thing more embarrassing
than not knowing the difference between "foreword" and "forward" is
misspelling "foreword".)

I think the above edition was a bookstore version (mass market) and the other version is the direct market version.

I bought my edition when it was brand new, but it's been so long I can't remember where I got it.

I remember a "giveaway" when the books first came out. Send in coupons that were present in the first books that came out after Man of Steel and receive a tpb of MoS. IIRC it was the black cover posted above.

It was close, Dan. I have one and will post it later. It may have been the first official DC trade too. It was a compilation of the issues with adds and everything. I also have the original Balantine Books MOS trade. I will post that too. I used to have the blue one mentioned above, but that is a second print. The original BB trades have great paper too.

++++++++++
Close to it but DC had released Watchmen, Ronin, The Dark Knight Returns
and Howard Chaykin's Shadow the year before MOS in 1987.
Besides the MOS trade, DC released Batman: Year One in 1988 and also a
few of those Greatest Stories TPB's starring Batman and Superman.

I'd "qualify" the "trades" earlier then that. I remember buying paperback book sized reprints of Legion of Super-heroes and Superman/Batman stories back in 70s. B&W reprints, but stories from different issues none-the-less.

I don't think they were put out by DC, were they?
