Authors I buy in hardcover...the list is actually pretty short:
Mieville Pynchon Banks Rowling (I guess...but I don't expect to have to do that again) Stephenson Stross
That said, it's not universal because I use the library a lot, so I get to enjoy the tactile sensation of reading a hardcover book even when I'm pleased afterwards to not have purchased it.

What can I say? Shelf space is at a premium.
