What, if any, are the draw backs of ordering "international versions" of college textbooks online?
Question:
Answer:
An International Edition Textbook is simply the international counterpart to a US Edition. Most international editions have slightly different covers and many have different ISBNs on the outside covers (although some have the same ISBN as the US edition on the inside). These books were originally created to be sold in different regions, such as England. International edition textbooks have the same pagination and contents as the US Edition.
I think, in general, the only difference is that they are cheaper and they are usually in paperback instead of hardcover. Also make sure that you're getting the same edition.
