interesting. I was looking for cheaper textbooks for class.. and I kept seeing these international versions that were cheaper..
Apparently, they're exactly the same? but sold cheaper abroad..

"To be sure, textbook costs, however high, are only the final straw for American college students, whose tuition costs and fees have been rising rapidly. At Williams and other elite universities, for example, tuition, room and board now tops $35,000 a year. In Britain, though, the cost of tuition is largely borne by the government and students pay much less.

For example, tuition alone for undergraduates at Harvard is currently $26,066 a year as compared with $1,840 at Oxford University."

=( wow.. Oxford is cheap.. suddenly, studying abroad looks grand.
