Which textbook(s) do you think covers the content well and has very good explanations?

I think this is addressed in a few threads, but Nelson's pretty good. :)

Hey guys,

I am wondering if you could help me compile a list of advice for people doing Physics 3/4 next year? It would be so good!

What textbook do you recommend?

I used the Heinemann, which covered most of the material, but had a few mistakes. I've heard that Nelson explains the course pretty well though.

I used Heinemann as well but our teacher photocopied some Nelson pages for us in unit 3.

Knight's College Physics

For good concept explanations and worked problems... It's about $120 new.

EDIT - Used Heinemann in VCE and it's good as well
2007-2008 VCE ATAR 90.15
2009-2011 BSc (Unimelb)
2012-2015 DDS (Unimelb)
