This edition is more detailed than 9th edition. I love the stuff that they added and revised, such as better pictures and improved examples. The 7th and 9th edition are adequate enough to learn basic biology, but keeping updated with new editions is wise.
Firstly, there are pros and cons for the hardcover and three-ring binder options...
Hardcover: Pro: the whole thing is in one whole piece. Con: the hard cover option is REALLY HEAVY to carry around!
Three-ring binder option: Pro: student can customize how they can segment the chapters by putting the pages in a three-ring binder, so they are not carrying around to much weight of the other chapters. Con: the pages are flimsy and can be torn out of the three-ring binder, if you do not handle the pages with care. also, you have to buy your own three-ring binders to put the pages in before you open the plastic, which is securing your new book.
So, if you are a guy like me, who can carry extra weight and likes all the pages secured together, you should buy the hardcover. If you are going to buy the hardcover, you will be reading it in front of a desk.
However, if you are someone who cant hold up heavy books while reading on the couch (or non-desk), you should buy the three-ring binder option.

The newer editions of the Campbell book just are not as good as the ones from 20 years ago. The canned teachers presentations, test generation software and the student extras sold by masteringbiology.com are becoming filled with self-aggrandizing statements. The effort to keep it fresh and at the same time have a multitude of contributors: pages and pages worth of names of contributors is turning a once great and well known text book in to collective committee mush. Parts are hard to understand, like Chapter 11’s cell-to-cell communication, again probably a result of everyone on the committee having to put their two cents in. I'd recommend the editions from 2000 and prior, but with each subsequent edition the "Campbell Biology Franchise" is growing worse.
