Originally Posted By avromark Congrats, and Tom you mean yearly. I once had to buy an updated version of a text, since another professor decided to use the same text the next semester... You know you can often save money by purchasing the international version of the textbook for emerging markets? The difference is usually just the ISBN and a cover that states not for use in North America. There's actually a political science textbook written by someone with the same name as me, as well my father shares the name of someone who wrote a high school text in use here. However you actually wrote this book
