That last response may have been a little unclear (at least, it was to me)
mi, mío, mía, tu, tuyo, tuya can be long and short form possessive adjectives and may have nothing to do with possessive pronouns (el mío, la mía, el tuyo, la tuya, etc.)
Apparently it needs to be answered one million and one times.
The short form possessive adjective is used before the noun and the long form possessive adjective is used after the noun.

el libro mío

That's true. I totally missed the wrong spelling of "tuyo" :-P - Nick-Cortina, AGO 25, 2009
