I am looking on half.com for some of my books for next semester, what is different about the international book and will they work for my classes?

The international edition is usually soft cover. It usually has the same content, but without color illustrations/drawings. The international edition books that I have used did have the same exact content as the hardcover. You cannot sell these int. edition books back at the bookstore, that is the biggest drawback.

from my experiences with international editions, the only difference as noted above is that they are soft cover rather than hard cover. the content is the exact same and with the 1's i used, charts and graphs were the same even displayed in color as well. yes the drawback is that u cant sell them back to the bookstores but u can resell them on half.com for pretty much what u bought them for to begin with from half. half.com is great IMO and i use that site as much as i can since i've learned my lesson with the POS bookstores and their shittastic buyback policies.
