What book do you use?

Hey everybody. I'm just curious which US History book everyone is using. My class uses the American Pageant 11th Edition. (aka Bailey) This information might be useful when it comes to making outlines or what not.

Our class uses Blum, Brinkley, Nash and Zinn. All are good, but Zinn. (too liberal for my likes.)---Jake

Our class also uses the "American Pagaent" although I personally feel it has too much extranious information.

Located in Ny. We're using American Pageant, Spirit, Zinn, and Amsco. Amsco was said to be hard to find. You have to order it to get it.

My class uses Brinkley as well as Amsco for our AP classes. Brinkley's a pain to read, but it's very detailed and is good to study from. Amsco is easier to go through it seems. It is more vague, but gives you a main outline of each topic... We're about to end WW1.
