Dude, you're quite annoying. This isn't your first post regarding this matter. They update their books. I have 2008 books. They have the copyright on the inside cover. Where are you getting this 2003 crap? If you're too cheap to buy new books then stick with Kaplan, TPR, or EK. I reiterate anyone can do well with any of the aforementioned books. The advantage of TBR is they explain stuff in greater depth and have the best passages for O-chem, physics, and gen-chem. I have everything: EK 1001 for all subjects, 2008 TPR Books, Kaplan Book, and of course TBR. I've read through them all. For weaker students or bad test takers TBR is the best. Why? TPR will explain and give you 3 examples. TBR will explain and give you 10 examples so there's no way the MCAT can present it in a way you won't understand. Go to their site. All their books are updated. They're coming up with their revamped G-chem and Physics in October but the current ones are good and of Fall 2008.

There's rarely a huge difference between 2 editions of these types of books.

You asked this question already in another thread. BRT answered your question as did a couple other posters. If you go to their site you'll see that they update their books. Finally, there is a huge difference between the 03 books and the 08 books. If you had done a simple search on the TBR you would have had more info than possible. I seriously don't get a majority of the posters here. People ask the same questions over and over again when there is a search function that will answer 99.9% of your questions instantly. Of course I'll be rude when others took the time to answer your question and then you go ahead and start another thread regarding the same topic. That's just as rude.

dude, http://www.theberkeleyreview.com/. look in classifieds on SDN or ebay. No one gets these books off Amazon, they're old or in bad condition. You say um ok, you're quite insolent. The thought of googling TBR never entered your mind? Finally, did you actually think we'd be lauding books that hadn't been updated in 6 years? Sometimes people need to use some common sense. BTW, Kaplan DOESN'T update their books. The science section is the same now as it was in 1998 and TPR is largely the same. The only one that does is EK sometimes and TBR which is why I always suggest the aforementioned two to anyone.

a lot of amazon is similar to to something like half.com buddy... just random people selling stuff. it's also been said many times that newest editions can only be bought on berkeleyreview's website. in fact, if you read the reviews on amazon, there is usually just 1 review and it's by an editor who also says the only place to buy a new copy is on their website.

Don't bother with TBR. If you can't figure out their site then you'll despise their shipping methods. Just use EK like you wanted in that other thread and save yourself the trouble. Click on a book like Gen Chem I and then scroll all the way down. You'll see the copyright. The site is old but did you even attempt to scan it? Just look for copies on ebay or sdn classifieds because based on your track record I can see a TBR shipping is stupid rant coming.
