Either make a friend in the class with the proper edition, just in case. Or if the prof does assign questions, look for the book in the library.
The only downside Im finding to having bought the book is that no one seems to want to buy it from me. I saved $60 buy buying it, but I would feel much better if I could resell it.

That is what i was thinking at work today. I'm probably going to buy new editions for classes that have them, so i can resell it next year, and stick with old wherever I can. |

I don't think it has an official edition since it's a custom book.

ooohhh... okay. i guess all I need to know that it's new, and not the same as last year. Also, do the solution manuals all come with the purchase of a text book for all classes? |

No, only if it says SSM in the title, which stands for Student Solutions Manual.
