Actually, even though they are the same title (almost), they're not exactly same in their content (the one that you pointed is the has 32 pages less than the original.)


That is, the "international" edition.

The one I have a paper copy of, though, is the "originial", non-international edition; this is a really _heavy_ tome (1200 pages or so) and I found it more fit to read it as an ebook; and all my raging on havin the ebook for this very version (rather than the available, international edition I get referr'd to) is because they are not the same in their content arrangement (especially, page numbering), which would make it hard (very hard, if not impossible) for me to move along with my instructors as they refer us to, e.g, "assignments given on page 12", or "the theorem on page 120", etc.

tl;dr:
https://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Time.../dp/B008VIXQSQ and
https://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Time.../dp/B00IZ0LJHU are same titles, BUT with different content arrangements;
the former is the only one usable for me, because I have a verbatim paper copy of it,and it is too heavy to carry , and it is what our instructors use. Their bahaviour is very frustrating; at least, they could give a more descriptive message than "this title is not currently available for purchase."
