Texts in Physics

<p>I know this thread must've been posted a million times but...</p>

<p>What's an efficient textbook to self-study Physics C from; with an emphasis in problem solving and real conceptual understanding? What's a book that's up and straight to the point, that'll move through the subject quickly but without losing concentration on the subject matter? I had two in mind: Halliday's Fundamentals and Giancoli's Physics for Scientists and Engineers. Any suggestions about these two or other texts?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I think Princeton Review has a good book for Physics. Among textbooks, Giancoli's seems to be very popular, but as a student, I think the Review Book serves as a better textbook once you understand the general concepts because it has a lot of example problems geared towards the AP unlike the Giancoli.</p>

<p>Thanks. Any other opinions?</p>
