International edition may be unsuitable for the US.

In short, this book might work for you if you have different homework assignments (e.g. Homework Manager on-line), but would not work if your homework is taken directly from the book. If homework is not an issue, buy color international edition for best value vs. quality.
I purchased an international edition of this book as I do always for my undergraduate courses. However, before buying this specific book I did a little research because all of the sellers were new, and their descriptions omitted some "usual" international edition disclaimers.
As usual, there are two international editions:
1: Indian black & white - I'd read only negative reviews of this edition. Also, I'm not a fan of the monotonous black & white book: give your eyes at least some rest through variety. When asked whether this was black & white edition, sellers of this edition did not reply.
2: High quality, color edition (I'm not sure where it's printed originally). I purchased mine from Malaysia. The seller fast and honestly answered that this is a color edition. What this seller missed was an "unusual" addition to the "usual" "international edition disclaimer" printed on the face of the book: "... and contains content that is different from its North American version."
I did not have a chance to compare the content against the authentic US edition, since I'm taking a part-distance education class, but it seems that the chapters have the same material (at least educational value is completely the same), but the "end-of-the-chapter problems" are for sure DIFFERENT. They might have pretty similar questions with different dataset/numbers, sometimes in foreign currency, and rarely the questions are completely different. Luckily my professor uses author's on-line Homework Manager, which might be familiar to finance students, which changes the dataset/numbers anyway, so you have to work the numbers anyway, and that works even with this book.
The solution to this book is definitely written for the US edition (and may be for a different one than yours, since there are at least two official 8th editions), so it helps only in principles. The questions are the same; the numbers are always different.
