I received the wrong book (the Self-Assessment and Board Review). I suspect the situation may be the same for other buyers. If so, sorry for the hassle.
Fortunately, Abe Books has a 30-day returns policy.

Unfortunately, they only refund return shipping equal to the original charge (i.e. US$24.99).
If you search the original link on Google, and view the cached version, you can see that the ISBN listed is that of the proper Harrison's.

Anyway, I received an email from the seller saying that there is no need to return the book; I will still receive the refund. Thank goodness for good customer service.
Seller notes:
Brand New. Original International Edition. ISBN & Cover of the book might be different. Contents are similar to US Editions. Printed in English.
At first, I thought this was a pricing error, since Harrison's is usually $200+. But I put my order through, and I just received a confirmation email that my order has been shipped. I hope this book is actually Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, and not another Harrison's title.
Confirmed soft-cover, printed B&W on glossy paper.

If you want the "real" copy for a cheap price, just get it from Borders and use the Borders Price Match Guarantee, where they will refund the difference plus 10% compared to Amazon.com's price. A friend told me this trick.
Great find but I am too old to read this novel again :). It used to cost me an arm and a leg and I still have my 12th Edition. They come in CD ROM and I have found uptodate is easier to read with great search function. However, Harrison is still the bibble for you med med people.
