<p>getting the wrong editions is more of a pain than it's worth. anyone who has had the experience will tell you to just spend the money and save yourself the trouble.</p>

<p>getting the wrong edition is nearly as unproductive as getting the book in a different language. for core books, buy and sell at the bookstore religiously, for others don't; sell others at the bookstore only if it's the end of the year and you are running out of time to sell on amazon/ to other people.</p>
<p>Does the edition change every year? If you buy a used book collection at the library, shouldn't you be getting the same editions as the ones used in the classroom?</p>

<p>I think one book a year usually changes...not counting books that are added/removed year-to-year.</p>
<p>Apparently the edition of the books written originally in English (for 2nd semester books) is not as important. I guess that's seems true, can anyone confirm that?</p>
<p>Yes, that is true, and for obvious reasons. However, you will still have issues finding the right page numbers to read or flipping to the correct pages in class. From what I observed in my LitHum class, though, having the wrong edition or translation wasn't a huge problem, since for papers, you can always borrow the correct book from someone else, and we never delved deep enough into the texts to warrant a lot of page-flipping (there was a lot of plot summary and little close reading). But this was just my class.</p>
<p>Since there are no textbooks on the LitHum syllabus, the bookstore's prices are really quite close to Amazon's (and in some cases a little cheaper). Save yourself the trouble and just buy the boxed set. Buying used books online will be a pain because few resellers will have all the LitHum books you need, so you'll have to pay multiple S+H fees, which are as expensive as some of the books.</p>
<p>And you can find the cost of your textbooks are the bookstore website (just Google it). Some professors may not have posted their book lists yet, though.</p>
