Yep, close to 50% and the materials are IDENTICAL!  We americans love
bond paper and color diagrams, so we end up paying twice as much for
textbooks.
This semester alone cost me $450 for 3 textbooks and none of them were
international editions.  There was one book that costs $150 and the
international edition was only $60!
