What are the Best Basic Physics Books for Understanding Formulas?

In summary, the conversation discusses the request for recommendations on basic physics books. One suggestion is the book "The Physics of Everyday Phenomena" and another is the Alonso and Finn series. It is also mentioned that public libraries may not have good physics sections and a university library may be a better option.

I searched this book in public library right now, and they didn't have it, do you suggest any other books.

Public libraries rarely have good physics sections. You're better off going to a university library. You can't borrow it from there if you aren't a uni student though.
