International Editions Textbooks FAQs
What are International Edition textbooks?
Textbook publishers sell their books worldwide and often price them based on book prices and economic conditions of the destination countries. These textbooks sold abroad are referred to "International Editions" or "Low price editions". The International Edition may not include the accompanying CDs, charts or DVDs. Most importantly, the price is significantly cheaper!
The publishers of International Editions generally do not authorize the sale and distribution of International Editions in the United States and Canada and such sale or distribution may violate the copyrights and trademarks of the publishers of such works.
