Ebay lists a "third edition"of this book for as little as $25 shipped. But it's foreign-printed (India or Malaysia) and the ISBN doesn't match. Reviews say they are similar but have different student exercises. Authentic used second editions are still selling for $200, so I suppose that's the book you need for the $tanford cour$e. But if it's just for your own reading & bookshelf, the $25 knockoff might suffice.
Great info, KeithE. Those international book versions sounds a bit like pharmaceutical companies selling their ridiculously expensive (in the US) drugs for whatever they can get in other countries.
Of such muddied arguments, my buddy Jim says, "It's like kissing your sister, a little bit good, a little bit bad".

I had the same thoughts. Of course the international editions do often have inferior paper and printing, and the ink/glue can smell a bit. I guess you might also feel more free about separating the book into multiple sections for easier reading/transport - it's a beast of a book!
