Since I come from India, I can comment on these. Most of the books priced in dollars or Euro have an Indian Sub Continent edition which is low cost edition. Though these editions have some compromises, like black and white photographs instead of color and low paper quality but, the content is same. So, PDD edition for Indian Sub Continent will cost something like $10 which is affordable. But those who can afford. do go for international edition or purchase ebooks. regards Vivek -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!!
