Finding an AP Physics B Textbook - Suggestions?

[BloodyFrozen]

I've been looking around for a AP Physics B textbook (high school), but haven't found any yet.

Any suggestions?

It should include all of the topics in this syllabus (can be in more than one Vol.)

P.S. Should I get one of these? If so, which one should I get? First one has no Calculus involved, second one does.., but the one with Calculus is not under the official AP textbooks list. Will the second still be as good?

Physics B doesn't have calculus.

Physics B doesn't have calculus.

Exactly what I thought, but somewhere I saw that some do have it(uncommon) though

The syllabus you linked to clearly states that it is algebra based.

my ap physics class uses the Giancoli 6th edition textbook

Is it any good?

not sure. we have some summer work to do for it but I still haven't started it. here are some reviews from amazon:
kinda pricey i think but I've never had to buy a textbook myself so not too sure if that's really expensive or not
