What are International Edition Textbooks?

International Edition

An international edition textbook has been published at a lower production cost for sale in foreign markets. Distributors overseas then re-sell the titles to customers in other parts of the world at a much lower price. International edition textbooks save students an average of 50% over the prices offered at their college bookstores. Contrary to what their name might imply, international editions are published in English.

International edition markings

Most international editions are marked as such, with phrases such as "international student edition", "IE", "int'l edition", "global edition" and of course "international edition".

Many also have labels that indicate they are not for sale in certain areas, such as "not for sale in the United States", "not authorized for sale in North America", or "not for sale in the U.S. or Canada". However, as mentioned above, it is not illegal for students in the U.S. to purchase international edition textbooks.

How to order the correct international edition

International editions of textbooks may have different ISBN's from the U.S. edition. We recommend that you search by title and author as well as ISBN. International edition textbooks will be clearly identified as such in Biblio's search results.

Carefully compare your search results to the author and title of the book you want to order. Check for other details such as revised and/or newer editions, etc. Read the seller's entire description of the book available.
