POOR QUALITY:
I knew I was ordering an international edition of this book. The way it was explained to me was that an international edition is exactly the same as the North American edition except for (international edition) being soft cover. What I realized on receiving the book was that the international edition was a really cheap quality softcover. I can't highlight any of the pages as the ink is visible on the back side (of the page). The binding is of poor quality as well.
OVER PRICED
The North American edition is available for $100.00 (roughly) and I paid $30.00 + shipping for the international edition. The actual retail price (in rupees) of the book as Rs. 395. If I do the math correctly then Rs. 395 are roughly equal to $7-$8. So the actual retail price of this edition is $8.00. I paid $30.00 for the same book plus $11.00 in shipping. Talk about getting ripped off.
So just to summarize, I not grossly overpaid for the an international edition that is of poor quality.
