<p>I have bought several international versions of accounting text books. great quality and the same as the US version. Only difference has been that the cover is soft cover. Actually a good thing as it makes the book a little less heavy. Huge savings compared to US version, and i like to keep the accounting books so no worries about reselling.</p>
<p>Calculus - grr - still makes me mad to think of it. My daughter needed just one semester of calculus. Her school had a “custom” version of the required book that came in loose leaf form. It covered 3 semesters of calc (which few disciplines require) and came with the online access for homework for three semesters. The regular book was available used online for a much cheaper price, but had to buy the custom book to get the access code (which unlike connect etc was unavailable elsewhere). To add insult to injury, the bookstore would not buy back the book because it was loose leaf - and of course it was impossible to sell elsewhere. Biggest rip off of any book we have purchased between 3 college careers. The math dept must have been getting a kickback of some sort.</p>
