In summary, the person is looking for an inexpensive book with quality pencil and paper physics problems and solutions for practice. They are open to using an older textbook edition and would like 40-50 or more problems per physics topic. They specifically ask for recommendations from someone who has used the books. They are interested in topics such as classical physics, electric and magnetic forces, fluids, thermal, waves and optics, and atomic/nuclear physics. They also mention checking copyright rules and suggest a website for finding Russian/Soviet era problem books. They also provide recommendations for Serway Physics, University Physics, Ginacoli, Resnick Halliday, REA Physics Problem Solver, and Schaum's 3000 Solved Problems in Physics.

Hi, is there an inexpensive book with some quality pencil & paper physics problems (& solutions) that I can do for practice? Even an older textbook edition would be fine as long as the problems are good quality. I'd really like 40-50 or more problems per physics topic.

Thank-you.

P.S. Please only recommend me books that you've used.

What level? High school? College/university? With or without calculus?

Either with or without calculus is fine.

Classical Physics (Kinematics, Newton, Work/Power/Energy, Rotational Motion, etc.)
Electric & Magnetic Forces, Fields, Potential
Fluids
Thermal
Waves & Optics
Atomic/Nuclear Physics

And if the source continues after these then that's fine -- because I can refer back to the book in advanced topics for added value.

Thank-you

check your country's copyright rule and go here mirtitles.org all Russian/Soviet era problem books Irodov to Pinsky can be found in PDF. format.

And if you want 40-50 problems a chapter then Serway Physics is good and for 100 above University Physics, Ginacoli, Resnick Halliday may be the best for Calculus based Physics.
