Can anyone recommend a good physics book for me to teach myself from?
Unfortunately my physics teachers are rubbish; last year they didn't even finish the gcse course with us, so once again I have taken it upon myself to learn it.
I bought 'Physics' by A.F.Abbott yesterday but I don't actually know if it's that good or not. I'm looking for a very detailed book that actually goes into the A level standard questions.
Please bear in mind that I already have 'Physics For You' and I'm not very impressed with it.

I do the Edexcel physics course. Do you have the thin, modular textbooks? That's what we had from school - I'm not amazingly impressed by them but they do cover the course quite tightly.
Our school has also given us "Physics" by Fullick but i have to admit i almost never ever use this..
I also have a couple of revision guides courtesy of ebay: Letts, WHSmith, and the Edexcel one "Make the Grade".
Oh, we also use Practice in Physics which has lots of questions but is also riddled with mistakes..

I would recommend Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walker. I use it for the first year of my Natural Sciences Physics course so it might have some things a bit too advanced in it but it should cover everything in an AS. It would be good used in conjuction with a copy of the syllabus so you don't learn unneccessary things.

Nelson Advanced Science physics books are quite good, a little on the thin side but they give you most of what is needed.
