What's the difference between a U.S. edition and international edition when you buy a college textbook?
This is the first question that I asked myself when I started my graduate class a year ago. Textbooks are notoriously expensive in this country, and the high tuition fees are not helping either. I started looking into the international edition and found that basically there was no difference except the design of the cover. Seriously, that's the only difference! The U.S. edition usually has a hard cover with a different design on it, while the international edition has a soft cover. I'm not sure if that much of the paper justifies doubling the price of a textbook when the internatonal edition can do the same job.
Students and potential students, don't be afraid to buy international edition! I have used many international editions so far and saved a lot of money. I have no answer to why the U.S. publishers want to charge students in the U.S. more money than those overseas, but I do know that you can ace the exam regardless you are using a U.S. edition or international edition!
International editions usually take longer to ship as well since they are well--international. If you need a textbook FAST, it is usually worth the extra $$$ for the local version. But as long as you leave a sufficient time maragin (8-12 days) you should be fine.
Good luck to all your classes!
*I would like to note that in most technical books the problems at the end of the chapter (usually the ones the teacher assigns for homework) have different numerical value, making it very frustrating. But just ask a buddy in the class for the real numbers and you will be fine. As the above guy mentioned DO BUY THESE BOOKS!
