Dynamics/Mechanics textbook recommendations?

Hi,

I'm doing a dynamics course this semester, it includes such things as the basics (newtons equation of motion, springs, projectiles, pendulums etc) as well as some more advanced stuff like planetary motion, orbits, rocket motion etc

Could anyone recommend a good, user friendly textbook that goes from a completely novice level? I didn't do mechanics at A level so I'm completely new to the whole idea of dynamics!!

Thanks a lot

a basic (reasonably good) book might be the Bostock & Chandler A-level Mechanics - doesn`t go into planetary stuff, though - go to amazon, type that in...

(not a big Mechanics geek myself , though)
