<p>What are the best books to use for chemistry? I am looking for chemistry textbooks that are suited to AP or IB chemistry.</p>
<p>The Zumdahl series is good. Although our class uses Lamay and Brown, I have no complaints.</p>
<p>We use Brown, Lemay, and Bursten along with Zumdahl.</p>
<p>Zumdahl is excellent. If you digest it well, it may even prepare you for the Olympiad.</p>
<p>I think Brown, Lemay Bursten was an awesome book. It explained things very well but Zumdahl is much more widely used (a lot of people seem to like it too, though I myself never had the chance to use it).</p>
<p>Zumdahl! Okay, sometimes it's hard to read, but the chapter problems really stretch your mind sometimes</p>
<p>I agree with sous. The problems are excellent, but Zumdahl gives very dense explanations of the topic.</p>
<p>zumdhal. sometimes i dont like how they explain things. but overall its pretty good</p>
<p>if you just want to prepare for the AP test, princeton review will suffice.</p>
<p>the zumdahl is a horrible book imo</p>
<p>Our class used Brown, LeMay and Bursten.</p>
<p>My class uses Zumdahl.</p>
<p>Chemistry: The Central Science.</p>
<p>(Brown, LeMay, Bursten)</p>
