I have the A & T book now and used to have the 1st ed of the Pre C book (the grey one). The A and T book has 125 more pages-a lot of the difference is from Ch. 7 Systems of Equations, esp. section 7.4 Matrix Algebra, which was not in the Pre C book. To me, the books are about the same: they're...

Read the Amazon reviews of Calculus by Gilbert Strang. If you like the book reviews, you can google his website - Wellesley-Cambridge Press and order the text and the solutions manual and the study guide if you're still interested. If he still has the first edition on hand you'll probably get...

If you go with Pinter, see the Amazon review by tech book guy that suggests you buy a non-Dover edition because of the small print; and have fun reading the reviews!
