Re: buying books online

I'm going to second Genia.

STAY AWAY FROM INTERNATIONAL EDITIONS!

They claim that they are the same. Frequently, they are either photocopied versions of copyrighted books or "special copyright allowances" which are only supposed to be sold in the country they're being sold out of.

Additionally, International Editions, as Genia said, are not the same a good chunk of the time. The seller will claim they are the same. They are not. Typically, it is difficult to send them back and many sellers will cause you significant hassle to do so (if they will accept it).

Bottom line, if it is the same quality rating yet significantly less costly, assume that it's international and choose another.
