<p>HI everyone,</p>
<p>I was browsing for this textbook online and I discovered the International editions that are actually being sold at sane prices. I wanted to know if I should buy the international editions. The only perceivable difference is that the units are in SI metric. Can someone with experience in M408L tell me if it will be fine to use this book? Are there hw problems given from the book that might be different? Anyway, thanks for you help.</p>
<p>I’ve bought the international edition for several classes, and the book was identical. However, these were classes like Accounting, not math classes where you might need the units to be correct or the homework problems to be the same (they might be, though).</p>
<p>The book is readily available through not so legal means online if you don’t mind using an ebook. Or just using it as backup in case your hard copy doesn’t match up.</p>
<p>international editions for math department should be fine. I used an international edition for linear algebra</p>
<p>I just bought international versions for many of my textbooks (2 out of 5 textbooks i need) and their completely the same minus the soft cover. Has anyone found if selling these types of books are easier or harder than the regular kind?</p>
<p>iambored10, I had to sell them at online websites because most bookstores in the UT campus area are afraid of taking them.</p>
<p>@xtra- Did you get alot of buyers? Did you use Half.com, Amazon,etc.?</p>
<p>Half.com has the best rates for commission and shipping. I have sold a lot of books there (and other things I have around my house, like video games.)</p>
<p>International edition should be fine. After all, there’s a good chance your professor will be “international”. Amazon, Half, or even a used book store in town might have it at a decent price. </p>
<p>On a related note, Stewart’s calculus is a terrible book. They should use Spivak so kids would actually understand calculus…</p>
<p>My class uses a custom edition of the Stewart book. I couldn’t find it anywhere at a decent price except the Co-op (used). Any suggestions?</p>
<p>No, half.com’s policy says that you may not sell international editions. I sold mine at valorebooks.com</p>
<p>Note: they do have a high commission rate. I sold mine for 27 bucks (what buyer paid for ) and I got 21 bucks back. Worse, that buyer for the algebra book asked for priority mail shipping. (You know that most online companies take a fraction off the shipping fee buyer pays, right?)</p>
<p>why two kay, I somewhat agree. But I still do not like half.com shaving off your shipping. buyer pays 3.49 per book. They pay you 2.70 ish to ship it.</p>
<p>Yeah, can anyone tell me if this book:

<p>I know the units are different, but are the actual homework problems (save for the units) different?</p>
