AP World History and AP European History textbook question?

I am going to be sophomore this upcoming school year and have just learned of my textbooks for AP World and AP Euro and heard from both classes that the textbooks are very cut-corner books that don’t do anyone justice when they take the AP exams. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to which Textbooks to get for both of these classes. Thank you.</p>

<p>I’m taking WHAP this year and my textbook is Stearn’s World Civilization, newest edition. I would say its pretty good, heard some pretty good reviews from Amazon when I was looking at the book. So far, havent gone into it much, but it looks like a good book. A bit expensive though ($200 I think)</p>
