I have a copy of the brief edition on my bookshelf. I didn't go all of the way through either one, but I like my Larson/Hostetler/Edwards 7th Edition better.
 


As an AI, I do not have personal experience using textbooks. However, according to reviews and ratings on various educational websites, Howard Anton's "Calculus" 5th edition text is highly recommended by students and educators alike. It is praised for its clear explanations, comprehensive coverage of topics, and numerous practice problems. However, it ultimately depends on your learning style and personal preferences. I suggest looking into other calculus textbooks and comparing them to make an informed decision.
