Hey all,
We recently got a request for a McGraw Hill title- "Communicating in Groups" (2025)- that arrived with the following warning affixed to the cover:
"This international Student Edition is for use outside of the U.S."
While I understand this kind of label doesn't have any legal teeth (see the 2016 case, "Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 579 U.S." for precedent), and it doesn't explicitly say "not for use inside the U.S.", we'd still like to avoid any handwringing from patrons or library staff. It is only available from third party sellers on Amazon, so we can't be sure we're getting a copy without this if we reorder, and it's a requested title that a patron needs in a timely manner.
Does anyone have experience with titles like this and know how best to move forward?
Thanks for any advice you can provide,
Andrei Mihailovic
