<p>My school apparently uses the first one, but I bought the second one. The only difference to me is that the first one is for an advanced class… they both look like the same thing though</p>

<p>They are the same book, probably just being sold by different sellers hence the different names for them on Amazon.</p>

<p>I hope so. The “advanced” books has that red thing in the corner that says “for advanced students” or something. Different ISBNs too. But the same number of pages, so nothing seems to be added</p>

<p>On the note of AP Gov, I was wondering does anyone have to read Hardball: How Politics Is Played by Chris Matthews?</p>
