I don't completely understand the game that McGraw is playing with the warning on the front cover of the international version that the content inside is different from the US version. Maybe some international versions have differences, but this is the second paperback textbook I've bought that was McGraw and it has been perfect and identical to the hardcover. Buying both of these books in paperback, NEW, saved me about $250 bucks for just two books! The only downside to these is that the covers can get bent in a backpack, but by putting two notebooks on either side this can be pretty well avoided. I wish I had known about international versions earlier, as Silberberg is a great textbook full of exam-worthy examples and helpful figures, at ONE THIRD THE PRICE of hardcover! Doesn't get any better than that.Read full review
Although the international version of this book is "different" from the North American version, it is not really. I am using the book at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and it is exactly the same for what I need. The chapter material, comprehensive questions and exercises at the end of the chapter are all exactly the same. I'm not sure what was actually the difference, so don't worry if you need it in the US! The paper back is nice to have, too.
It's lighter than the original hardcover, but has everything in it that you need. The pages are identical and the pictures are in color. I will definitely be purchasing more international books in the future. The only issue is that you can't resell, but I guess you're saving enough money already that it doesn't matter.
I like this book because it really breaks down the topics and makes the concepts easy to understand.
bought the book because it was required for chemistry. Still in Chemistry, but so far the book has been what I need for the class. I would recommend this book, but of course it depends on if the teacher uses the book also.
