After paying for the last two courses with Excelsior I looked at the required textbook. $237.50 How much? Two hundred dollars? Buy second hand for $178.00, save $59.50!
Right, no. Ordered the international edition. It's exactly the same textbook, content in English, printed on slightly lower quality paper with a different title.
$35.50, including postage. When it finally arrived, price tag on the back stated 63 Yuan; so, about $9.50. Obviously I had no problem with the reseller markup considering it saved me two hundred dollars.
Education can be such a business so it definitely pays to shop around. Provided you purchase based on the ISBN it's highly recommended.
