</div> Since I come from India, I can comment on these. Most of the books<br>
priced in dollars or Euro have an Indian Sub Continent edition which<br>
is low cost edition. Though these editions have some compromises, like<br>
black and white photographs instead of color and low paper quality<br>
but, the content is same. So, PDD edition for Indian Sub Continent<br>
will cost something like $10 which is affordable.<br>
But those who can afford. do go for international edition or purchase ebooks.<br>
