1) Purchase the correct edition (for example: 3rd edition). If there is no edition listed, it is assumed to be the first edition.
2) Do not get an Instructor’s edition. Some have more answers than a student book; others have fewer! Students who purchase instructor’s editions, usually find them annoying.
3) If your course requires an on-line homework system, this is usually packaged with a new book at the Bookstore. If you purchase a used book, you will need to purchase access to the on-line system separately. This is often available for purchase with a credit card on line.
4) If you are buying software, make sure it is current and unused.
