I know 3 his books:
Introduction to Classical Mechanics
Special Relativity for the Enthusiastic Beginner
Probability for the Enthusiastic Beginner

Are there any more?

He has revised Purcell's classic text: Electricity and Magnetism 3rd Edition
And he has a problem book for intro physics: Problems and Solutions in Introductory Mechanics

That's all I know about.
