<p>No problem. I'm at a weird point too because a class I want to get into is WL, but the guy is like "just show up the first day, I'm not taking anyone from the WL till then", so no way am I going to buy the book(s) until I'm 110% in there.</p>
<p>Can't help you on the book. Amazon-ed it, it seems to come up, but not the ISBN. I would just search for the title and make sure you get the right author/publisher.</p>
<p>is that the clicker? I have a senior who is offering me that book but the person doesn't know what 0-07-350769-5 is also.. but it's slightly cheaper than Amazon and I'm itching to get it now :P what happens if I don't get the 0-07-350769-5? Hmmmm...</p>
<p>Go for the cheaper option. And it might be online/CD materials or a clicker, although they tend to say clicker next to them if you need one. Call the bookstore maybe?</p>
<p>Calling is a bit of a hassle considering I'm international... But anyway I have decided to get it. :) There goes my first textbook transaction! Thank youuus :)</p>
<p>Actually, I want to know where I can sell my books for the best return on prices. Any recommendations?</p>
<p>What if the course you're taking is listed, but the section you're in for that course isn't listed ? Like, I'm in Chem141L section 001, but on the list online only "Chem141 sec 3-7" is listed...should I just not worry about it??</p>
<p>Just go by whatever book is listed for the same class, regardless of sections. Teachers use the same book, as do labs.</p>
<p>I am still looking for textbooks at a reasonable price so if anyone has the following books for sale please PM me to discuss a possible sale:</p>
<p>James Stewart Calculus</p>
<p>Nivaldo Jose Tro Chemistry: A Molecular Approach (MasteringChemistry Series) (Hardcover)</p>
<p>Byron S. Gottfried Spreadsheet Tools for Engineers using Excel</p>
<p>Gary Marcus The Norton Psychology Reader</p>
<p>Henry Gleitman Psychology</p>
<p>Bryan Chemical Principles in the Laboratory</p>
<p>Again please PM me if you have any of these available.</p>
<p>Also a question:</p>
<p>Is it ok to buy the international edition of books?
For example</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Good luck on finding the chem book for used or cheap, it's in its first edition and was only published last January...I need it too.</p>
<p>All the other ones were available fairly inexpensively on Amazon.</p>
<p>As to the international book, for most of these editions, they are not legit, and the author does not get paid. However much we may want a good deal, it's kinda important to take the high road and compensate the author for their work. Also, with those books, the questions and example problems are all converted into metric, so I hope you know how to do celsius and kilometers really well (and hope the values used aren't different from the english units). My suggestion, fork over an extra couple bucks and get the US/Canada version.</p>
<p>another note on amazon. they're offering free two day shipping for textbook orders above $100 (which is like 1 science textbook). I ordered most of mine through them.</p>
<p>Wait, is that the textbook for Chem 181? </p>
<p>I actually haven't started looking for my textbooks yet because up until today I wasn't happy with some of my courses. Is this a really late point to start?</p>
<p>No. I don't even know what any of mine are. I plan on ordering them next week.</p>
<p>That's the textbook for Chem 141/151</p>
<p>I'm finding it quite difficult to locate my courses' textbooks on toolkit. A lot of them don't even have pages, and for those that do, hardly any of them list textbooks for the next semester. </p>
<p>I actually see an offer onthegrounds.com for a textbook for one of my courses. It looks like a good deal, but then I'm wary to buy a past textbook without even knowing what's changed between years.</p>

<p>Must have been a misunderstanding. I thought you meant the kind of thing where the IP owner markets the same work in two different markets at two different prices -- price discrimination. (Think DVD region coding.) Any person should have the right I think, to buy one work from one market and use or sell the same work in another market, if it is profitable. Price differentials are in essence crying out for someone to resolve the economic inefficiency. </p>
<p>I like the moral high road, in fact. </p>
<p>Funny things pop up through miscommunication.</p>
<p>Toolkit died. RIP Toolkit. Collab was born. Yay Collab. Teachers are still on vacation, so most haven't even begun to think about updating Collab. Look on the bookstore's website for what you need.</p>
<p>And, your rant about the whole international edition is just stupid. Give it up. Either be legit and buy the US/Canada version, or live with your decision to cheat the author out of his hardwork's pay. No one has the right to screw someone over, at least in my mind.</p>
<p>It wasn't clear to me what an "international version" was. It was my impression that the author was paid for them, but it was simply a marketing attempt at price discrimination. </p>
<p>So let's live with the fact that there are multiple /types/ of international versions. I suppose you could always look up your books in the appropriate international registries to see what's legit (whose lowered price is merely the product of price discrimination) and what's not (pirated books).</p>

<p>Definitely not (under law) if the publishing was unauthorised (under the current statutes). </p>
<p>But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about situations where the author/publisher releases the books at different prices in least two different markets. You have every right I think, to take the book from one market and bring it to another, because the author is still receiving payment in either market.</p>
<p>I didn't want to drag this out anyway -- just clarifying that I was not endorsing piracy.</p>
