Q: What's an International Edition Textbook?
A: An International Edition Textbook is simply the international counterpart to
a US Edition. Most international editions have slightly different covers and many
have different ISBNs on the outside covers (although some have the same ISBN as
the US edition on the inside). These books were originally created to be sold in
different regions, such as England. International edition textbooks have the same
pagination and contents as the US Edition. All units and problem sets are
guaranteed to be the same, or your money back!
Q: Why are International Edition Textbooks so much cheaper?
A: Just like prescription medicine, textbooks are much cheaper overseas than in
the US. TextbooksRus.com gets a hold of these books and passes the savings on to
you!
Q: Wait a minute, is it legal to buy International Edition Textbooks?
A: Yes! Textbook publishers would love to have people think otherwise, but courts
have time and again asserted your right to purchase international editions. Still
unsure? The United States Supreme Court recently ruled on this issue. You can find
a New York Times article about their decision
here
Q: Why do you sell International Edition Textbooks?
A: Disgruntlement over textbook costs has been growing in the United States as prices
have risen. As veterans of the textbook industry, we've seen a massive increase
in demand for both used textbooks and especially international edition textbooks
by students who are tired of paying $95.00 for an economics book or $140.00 for
a chemistry book. They're happier buying the same book for $50.00 in an international
edition.
Q: Do you buyback International Edition Textbooks?
Yes! Just visit our buyback page at the end of your quarter
or semester, type in the ISBN of your book and select the international edition
copy. We buyback all types of books everyday, and we even pay for your shipping!
Q: What about CD-ROM's and online access codes? Do International Editions come
with these?
A: In most cases, yes. In rare cases, the CD may not be included. If the CD is not
included with the book, this will be made clear on the product detail page. If you
are sure you're going to need the CD-ROM to complete your class and want to make
sure the book includes it, drop us an email at
help@textbooksrus.com to make sure. Most professors do not require these
materials, since many used books do not come with them.
Q: This all sounds great, but I'm still not sure because I've never bought an
International Edition Textbook before.
No problem, we've prepared some side by side comparisons of the US editions and
International Editions. Check them out below!
