I would like to buy _Real and Complex Analysis_, 3rd Ed. by Rudin.

What are people's experiences with the cheaper (paperback) International
Edition?

Is the page numbering the same? Is the printing quality comparable?
Are the contents word-for-word the same?

Thanks.

I have an (quite old) edition from India. The Math was the same.
Which was the reason I once bought it and ignored the rest.

Thanks. Then I guess you are saying you don't know whether the page
numbering is different or the quality is different.

I have Chinese edition which is *not* the same as international
edition. It is a softcover, the paper is a bit thinner and a bit
grayish rather than white. Otherwise it is completely identical to the
original. I know it doesn't answer your question, but that's the one I
got.

I have Baby Rudin international edition, the paper is white, and not
as thin as Papa Rudin Chinese edition (above). I remember finding a
couple of misprints in my Baby Rudin, had to check the original
hardcover version to correct. (math symbols weren't typeset
correctly).
