Although publishers would love it to be the case, it is not in fact illegal to purchase international editions, in any way shape of form. So long as you aren't stealing your textbooks, the law does not involve itself. Just wanted to clarify one of the earlier comments.

One of the latest biggest schemes is the "custom edition" printing for specific school. What they will do is go to a professor and say: "We can make a custom book for your students! We'll even put your name on the cover. We will also take out the chapters that you do not use, and as a result your students will have to pay less!" Sadly enough, often professors do not realize that even though a student will pay less initially, he/she will have no chance of selling the book after the class is finished. This custom book will have a different unique ISBN and absolutely no market for it. Listing it on a national marketplace (amazon.com, textbookx.com, half.com) will not work, since sites probably do not even have that custom ISBN in their database. I know that textbookx.com let's sellers enter this custom information, and they will eventually try to link it up to the national book, which has much higher chance of a sale. Anyhow, there is only a tip of the iceberg, but students will be better off if they are aware of schemes like this.

I'd go the library route.
