In reply to the questions about texts for AP Physics, I attended
the AP Conference at Pace University in NYC a couple of weeks ago.
The physics coordinator was Mr Pomeroy who teaches at Archmere
Academy, Claymont, Delaware.

He teaches both Physics C and Physics B levels, and both to
students as their first course in physics.

For Physics B he uses:

Physics                 Cutnell & Johnson       Wiley

and recommends as additional sources:

College Physics         Sears, Zemansky         Addison Wesley
                        and Young

Physics                 Giancoli                Prentice Hall
