<p>Has anyone purchased an international edition textbook? Is it really the same as the regular edition?</p>
<p>Yep, all the INTL Editions that I bought were exactly the same except that it was a softcover instead of a hardcover.</p>
<p>My calculus book was the international edition and I had no problems (it was hardcover too). BUT, I have a friend who purchased an international text book for an engineering course and it incorrectly printed all the greek letters throughout the book. Probably not too common, but beware of that possibility. Also, sometimes international editions may or may not come with the CD or additional stuff that often comes with new text books and may be required for the course.</p>
