What are book conditions?

Booksellers on Bookstores.com sell both New and Used books. Used books may contain highlighting or other signs of wear. CDs, access codes, and other supplements may not be included with used books. Although nearly all of our new books contain the appropriate CDs, access codes, and other supplements, any book which may not contain any or all of these items is still considered to be in "new" condition due to the physical condition of the book. The new condition status is not related to nor evidence of prior ownership of a book. It is possible for a book to be previously owned, but still be in new condition.

What are other editions/alternate versions?

• International Editions International Editions and Low Price Editions are books manufactured by publishers for sale in other countries. Since these books are originally manufactured for markets in other countries, they cost significantly less than U.S. student editions. Often these foreign versions are paperback and may not contain all of the same supplementary materials (i.e. CDs, access codes, etc.) as their U.S. counterpart.
• Instructor/Annotated Editions Bookstores.com also offers instructor review and annotated edition books for sale. These books are identical in content to the student edition by may have additional publisher markings on them stating "Instructor's Edition" or similar verbiage.

These items are usually listed alongside their U.S. student edition counterparts for your convenience. Bookstores.com makes no claim, implicit or otherwise, that said editions are identical to the U.S. student edition. ISBNs, cover art, binding, content, and paper quality may differ from the U.S. student edition. In the event that there are differences between said editions and the U.S. student edition, Bookstores.com makes every effort to inform the customer.
