Reviews
On Feb 8 2011, Netone said:
Wiley & Sons have crippled the international version of this book. I received the India edition from a biblio merchant. I would have been satisfied if the problems were merely out of order, but many are missing or changed in important ways. More importantly, pages have been removed from the text as well, and early topics are not given as much depth as in the domestic edition. (I'm returning it before covering more advanced topics because it's so far short of the domestic edition).Oh, and the script font is way uglier.
