<p>anybody ever bought an int edition, are they the same, are the pages the same?</p>
<p>Two general kinds:</p>
<p>1) Exactly the same, except cover is paperback, cheap as hell.</p>
<p>2) Exactly the same except all pages are black and white, cover is paperback, still cheap as hell.</p>
<p>yeah they are really cheap, that's why I'm not too sure if they are safe</p>
<p>I bought one for my sociology 5 class last semester. I was only in the class for a little over a week before dropping out but the few chapters that I read were identical to the ones in the US edition.</p>
<p>The only downside is that int'l textbooks are difficult to sell after you're done with them. :</p>
<p>^damn right. They have no resell values. It'll turn out to be cheaper to buy a used and resell on half.com or whatever</p>
<p>so when should we buy our books?</p>
<p>I was in Neds and the Campus Bookstore yesterday and the shelves were pretty bare in some of the subjects like Chem 1A. Neds is in the midst of changing over the textbook section. I would guess that the supplies for Fall will be arriving soon but you might want to delay a trip right now.</p>

<p>That hasn't been my experience, I've definitely saved money when going the I.E. route.</p>
<p>i always used international edition textbook but high quality one. dont get those from indian black and white quality bad! as long as the seller is not from India then you are fine. the book is 50-70% cheaper compared to the US edition. I get them all the time if i cant find them. then i sell them off again in ebay of half. for example i get a chemistry book for $60 bucks, i sell them after my course for around $40 bucks. i only lost $20 bucks. with US edition i lost like $50 for the book. it works well for me</p>
<p>where do you guys buy your international edition books from?</p>
