Anybody have some thorough books on first year physics and calculus courses? My courses use mostly books written by the profs at my university, and I don't feel like they have the breadth and depth that other books might have. Any suggestions?

Halliday Resnick Walker is the standard for Freshman physics, and I used Swokowski for calculus which I found good, but I have also heard good things about Stewart
