Hi!
I am going to start organic chemistry and my instructor said us to refer these two books:-

Organic chemistry by Robert Thornton Morrison, Robert Neilson Boyd

Organic Chemistry by T. W. Graham Solomons and Craig Fryhle.

Now i am confused which book should i choose? Its impractical to think of completing both the books as they both contain more than 1000 pages. :eek:

So can somebody tell me which of them is better? :)

Thanks! :smile:

I think that most people here know more about physics and math textbooks.

However, Have you checked out the reviews on amazon?

EDIT: seems like the former is a good book.

Oh yes, i checked the reviews. Most of the reviews were against buying the latter book so i ordered the first book i posted. :smile:
