Well, either go online to see if you can get the newest edition, 9th edition, for cheaper.

Or, you can check to see how many changes were made with the 9th edition. Oftentimes, there are not too many changes with each new edition, except for different pagination and maybe one or more new sections added. However, there could be a significant overhaul if certain topics have to be updated. Though this tends to be rare with updated editions. Is there any way you can go to a textbook bookstore and check on differences between the 8th and 9th editions of this book? OR call the publisher and inquire about the changes made in the 9th edition.

Just remember if you are able to stick with your 8th edition, you will have to be careful about matching up assigned readings to your 8th edition. Make sure you are reading the right pages and chapters since the pages tend to change and chapters/ topics may be rearranged.
