Fitzpatrick Advanced Calculus--edition differences

Hello everyone,

I will buy Fitzpatrick's Advanced Calculus 2nd edition, but am not sure paperback or hardcover. The reason I'm unsure is that even though we should be using the international student edition, the professor is using the hardcover one, and there are hardcover ones in the book store, and they are very expensive. The softcover one is quite cheap, but I want to ask, if anyone knows, if there is a difference in this edition (there seems to be a difference of 4 years in between the release of them). Here are the links to both:

Thanks for any answers. I would understand if I am being unnecessarily cautious.

Should be no differance, I've never come across an "International Edition" that isn't exactly like the regular edition. You're safe.
