***Please note that the Janda and Sidlow texts are packaged with an atlas and a 2008 election report at no additional charge to the students.  The 111 series ISBN number listed above for those texts is the ISBN number for the packaged set.  This is the number the bookstore will use in ordering the texts.

 For your use in looking up your textbook online, I have included below the original 13 digit ISBN number for the editions we use.  This is for your use in going online to look at the texts (the 111 series in the list above will NOT show up online for review because the 111 numbers were specifically created for our packaged set).  You do not have to use the two extras included in the package but the department is using the package as our official textbook (and the students pay nothing extra for them).
