There are also international editions. But the quality is highly variable. Brooks-Cole-Cenage and Macmillan are high quality, same as US edition, except maybe paperback instead of hard cover. Wiley-India is total crap. I bought one of theirs, and it had missing pages. I returned it and bought another. It had a splotch of missing text. I returned it and bought the US edition.
Add Pearson/Addison-Wesley to the missing pages department: the bibliograpy is missing in my copy of W. Richard Stevens, Stephen A. Rago: {Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment}.
These international editions are totally legal to purchase and resell in the US, despite warnings printed in the books that they are not for sale in the US and Canada. www.textbookrush.com boasts that they sell international editions.
When looking to buy a book, I like to use www.bookfinder.com They aggregate listings from many different sellers.
