There are hundreds of books. Nobody here knows what you already know, so it's pretty hard to recommend something. What math and science courses have you already taken? At what level? How did you do?
 
Man I just graduated from high school, and I took regular physics, and it was kind of hard for me. So I just wanted to be kind of basic, and expalins all the formulas.
 
Possiblity?
