Editions of Uni BOOKS

I'm currently on the hunt for University books on the Textbook exchange website.. obviously because it's cheaper than advertised on the melbourne uni booklist. Some of the books that i have come across on this website is different edition to the ones recommended on the uni book list. I'm planning to ask the lecturer during orientation week, however i was just wondering whether the edition of the books differing has any effect on My LEARNING LOL !!

Textbooks are usually used just for reference. You may find that you don't even use your textbook at all.

Edition shouldn't matter too much. For your first semester I know you should buy the finance 1 and physics textbook. Lol the physics textbook is one I WANT to keep.

Textbook writers often produce new editions without much new stuff just so people have to buy it.

I might be able to sell you Biology 3e (I kept it in great condition, no scratches), 4th edition is out this year but is only slightly updated with the latest biological discoveries :P

Buy the Chem Shrinkwrap pack asap, it gets sold out in two days or so

Prescribed Texts:    R Knight, B Jones and S Field, College Physics: A Strategic Approach, Addison-Wesley, 2007.

https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2010/640-172

What I've done is I've tried to look for ebooks for the books, since they're mainly reference points anyway, so I could just keep them on my laptop to refer to them. I've found 3/5 of what I need (one of which is older edition, other two are current).
