 1) Purchase the correct edition (for example: 3^rd 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.
