On Demand Hardcovers?

I must admit...I am really tempted by the smyth-sewn binding of the new printing even though postage costs to Australia are ruinous. One advantage of the Amazon POD option is that they are printed locally. But the binding isn't as good as this....and I use these books all the time

I can't say the new books will last forever, but these things are very very nice. Everyone was extremely happy with them when they arrived, and the binding is a complete tank.

I only recently saw the new Basic printing in the New Release section. I don't need any more of the old binding, and while I don't use them as much as I used to, I'd love the newer binding in my collection. I'm trying to get them through a FLGS and they said that the distributor lists their stock as having released in August. Does that mean they will be the newer lay-flat, sewn binding? I don't want him to try ordering it if it will be the old versions.

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks.
