They don't change much from edition to edition usually. They usually change things like page numbers and the order of the information within the textbook. While you may find a previous edition for cheaper the problem comes when your professor assigns questions 1-10 on page 100 and you do them, but your questions in your edition were over different material or were just different questions and you end up with the wrong answers. This is the reason you should always try to get the edition that the professor specifies. I know that the newer editions are usually more expensive, but that's why I use They are a textbook search engine that searches all the online textbook retailers to find you the best price.

Ask him/her if your edition is good enough. In most cases, it will be. However, in some classes the more up to date ones are going to work to your benefit, so be careful.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/Job-Search-Sites.htm"> jiayo23</a> Depends on the professor.

I did it with my past STAT class. The information was the same as well as the HW probs, but it was located in different parts of the book as well as some words were changed.
