Classical mechanics textbook question [Indian edition?]

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user who received the "special Indian edition" of "Introduction to Classical Mechanics" by Kleppner and Kolenkow, expressing disappointment and considering a return. Key points include inquiries about the differences between this edition and the North American version. It is noted that while country-specific editions may be edited for local educational standards, the core content remains largely the same. For self-study purposes, the Indian edition is deemed acceptable, but if possible, obtaining the US or International edition is recommended for a more standardized experience.

Hello, so i just received a copy of introduction to classical mechanics by kleppner and kolenkow in the mail today. I was so excited unwrapping it but when i saw it i was very disspointed. it turns out the person sent me the "special indian edition". i was pretty upset and I'm thinking of returning it. But before i do i want to know if anyone has this version of the book and if it is any different than the north american version. its in english, and SI units. but i don't know if the material is different or not.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
