The discussion centers on recommendations for basic organic chemistry textbooks suitable for self-study. Users suggest "Organic Chemistry" by John McMurry, particularly the 4th and 7th editions, as affordable options. Additionally, David Klein's textbook is mentioned for its comprehensible language and examples, although it is noted to lack problem sets. These resources are ideal for individuals not enrolled in formal courses.

I have the books by David Klein. Easy to follow book (comprehensible language and plenty of examples) but lacks problems.Xell said:I would like to buy a textbook to learn about this subject, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to buy, thank you very much for any responses.
