It could be nothing at all. Prentice Hall Pre-Algebra not only has a new cover, it has a new name. No difference inside.

I thought the second one looked vaguely familiar, but the first (blue/green) one is definitely the one we used. I wonder what the difference is, if anything.

they beg to differ

Susan has Googled up the Mathematically Correct review of Glencoe Pre-Algebra. (Thank you, Susan)

I had remembered it as being good, but didn't have the patience to go find it again for the gazillionth time.

They give Glencoe an A.

Pretty amazing.

I found it

While I was on vacation, USA Today ran a fabulous photo of a Distance Tutor chained to his terminal in India. There was a copy of Glencoe Pre-Algebra in the foreground that was so huge it was bigger than the tutor.





I love it.

That photo alone should be worth another billion or two in sales.

OK, here is a picture of Glencoe Pre-Algebra.

This textbook cover & the Distance Tutor textbook cover are two different things.

mystery solved

This is the one, right?
