I bought one once. It looked just like all of the others. It just took a while to ship from THAILAND.

They are the same, but you can't sell them back to the bookstore. The cost of the International book was way less than the regular and I did just end up keeping it.

I have. Only difference is they're softback. Actually sold it for more than I bought it to some one else. Easier to carry around also.

I had a few and the homework problems were different than the regular, so I was fukked. Also, the page numbers are different, so when the prof says to reference pg. 347, you have no fukking clue what he's talking about.
