Hi =)
Does the list consist of the newest editions of each textbook? Meaning, are the listed textbooks the same edition professors will tell us to buy? I'm thinking of buying used books, so I want to make sure I'm getting the right ones.

The list consists of the editions the professor wants you to buy. But you can wait for the first week of classes to find out if an older edition is okay (or email the professor if you really want to read ahead).

This generally includes the newest editions. Wait until the first day of class. It's always better to wait to see what the prof says. There's really no point of buying it early.

It should be within the first few pages before the table of contents if it isn't on the front cover. If not just google the book or amazon or some book site and they'll usually say |

Thanks but I guess I didn't phrase it right.
I am selling my textbooks from previous years and I am trying to find out what edition they are using now on the website so that I can know if I can sell my book/how to price it. Usually the title is clickable but its not this time around, not sure why.
