Didn't match description,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Earth (Paperback)
The book came and did not match the description. I received a "not for sale in the US" copy for Canadian students. It has "DO NOT SELL" in big red block print on the front cover. The writing itself is fine, it's just annoying that I got this questionable copy.

This review is from: Earth (Paperback)
This is the exact book that I needed; however, it would have been nice to know that it was an international student edition and not for sale in the US or Canada.

This review is from: Earth: Portrait Of A Planet (Paperback)
It was a cheap past-edition textbook that got here on time, so I'm content. Professor said there wasn't much difference between editions besides about $100, so yeah.
