Books: Is the international version really the same?

Published

Has anyone purchased the international version of Human Anatomy and Physiology 7th edition by Marieb? I need it for A&P I. The international version is a 1/3 of the price of the US version. All of the sellers of this book are consistent in saying that the book is exactly the same, however the cover is paperback. Has anyone used and international version? I am taking A&P I in the fall through EDUKAN and we have to type up all of the end of chapter questions so I want to make sure I am getting the right book.

I used this book last semester. It is indeed exactly the same--I bought it from an eBay seller. The cover is orange instead of green and the girl is in a different position, but that's the only difference. Mine came with a subscription to the website, make sure that if you feel like you need the subscription you ensure it is included with your book.

It ends up being a way better deal than a used US-printed book without the subscription.

Thanks Cymy! I will make sure the subscription comes with it. This will save me lots of money.

Hi, I have bought a few international versions and now I try to order all my books this way.

My A&P book was the new one by Saladin 4th ed, It was $200. I discovered the international versions when looking for a better option. I paid $40 plus shipping $55 total. I also bought an international version for Human Growth, bookstore wanted $90-100. I bought for $20 plus shipping. They were both the same page for page. I am currently starting the hunt for a Psychology international version since they are starting a brand new book this semester around a $118.

checkout the sellers ratings prior to purchase, this helps. I used Angelbooks (found thru ebay/no bid though just buy) and snowlionbooks (found thru abebooks.com).
