MATH IN INDIA

RESTRICTED!  ONLY FOR SALE IN INDIA, BANGLADESH, NEPAL, PAKISTAN, SRI LANKA, & BHUTAN.

This was the warning printed on the front of the "international version"* of my differential equations textbook.  *A paperback version whose front cover doesn't even remotely resemble the bookstore's version




The package looked like a bomb on my doorstep.
It was shoddily wrapped--opened previously and resealed with yellow tape.




The book barely made it through customs, apparently.


Brand spankin' new from New Delhi, India


Well folks, that's what you get for being a cheapskate and buying your $120 retail price textbook for a mere $30 from a sketchy website...Pure contraband.
