Often an instructor wants you to buy and "new" text so that you have the most recent edition. If you buy a used text, you may get a previous edition that does not match up with the instructor's lectures, exams, etc. There may also be multiple sections of a course, and they want everyone to use the same edition. Check with the instructor. He/she virtually always has discretion to decide issues such as textbooks.
