I have had students use international editions for my stats textbook. It was word for word the same including the problems at the end of the chapter. As others have noted, the books have lower production values - paper cover and lighter paper stock. I do warn these students that they should check their copies against the edition that I am (and most other students) are using to make sure that the homework problems are the same.

[mailto:kwuen...@suddenlink.net] Sent: Sunday, August 02, 2009 5:53 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] "International Editions" of text books One of my students is shopping for a deal on one of the texts that I use in first semester grad stats (Howell, 7th edition). He told me he could buy this text in the "international edition" for half the price of the regular edition, and he wants to know if this is the same text. I have no idea. What do you all know about so-called international editions of text books? Cheers, ________________________________ ECU Centennial Logo <http://www.ecu.edu/> Karl L.
