Nope, that ISBN is for a reprint of the originally published version. I happened to find a hardback copy at Borders Books about ten years ago or so, but I don't think I've seen it lately. I'm not sure whether or not it's currently in print. I just went to the website for the Kansas City Public Library and did a search on "stranger in a strange land uncut" and came up with ISBN 0399135863. I'll try to find my copy and see if I can confirm that ISBN for you.
