<p>AMSCO - United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination</p>

<p>which is on amazon
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/United-States-History-Preparing-Examination/dp/1567656609/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-7720178-9038064?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187062010&sr=1-1%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/United-States-History-Preparing-Examination/dp/1567656609/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-7720178-9038064?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187062010&sr=1-1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Buuut, I heard you can order it directly from the publisher for much cheaper and found 2 of the almost same books. </p>

<p>This one looks like the one amazon was selling
<a href="http://www.efastcom.com/AMSCOPUB/control/productdetails?&item_id=567656609%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.efastcom.com/AMSCOPUB/control/productdetails?&item_id=567656609&lt;/a>
but its 16.00 and ON ORDER..</p>

4

<p>WHAT! our school uses the 11th edition =<</p>

<p>Um.. to PKswm76, did your book look like this?
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/United-States-History-Preparing-Examination/dp/1567656609/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-7720178-9038064?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187062010&sr=1-1%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/United-States-History-Preparing-Examination/dp/1567656609/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-7720178-9038064?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187062010&sr=1-1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>2nd rev means it should be newer, but my friend used her sister's AMSCO from 6 years ago, and it was about the same.</p>

7

<p>Our school gave us the American Pageant, 5 steps to a 5 and AMSCO. I really like the American Pageant and the 5 steps one.</p>

8

<p>The American Pageant is good, but I only used it to supplement my teacher's lectures, reading it was so boring but hey, it has all you need!</p>

9

<p>Um what!? We had the 13th edition last year...</p>

10

<p>american pageant is pretty good
sometimes it gets boring but its amusing how they flower it up a bit</p>

11

<p>AMSCO was great.</p>

12

<p>AMSCO is very popular.</p>

13

<p>get it off of Amsco website, that's what I did. Had it shipped to my house. Rather than paying $40 on amazon I just paid (with shipping and tax) $22. Not a bad deal at all.</p>
