Common Advanced Placement Chemistry Texts

Listed below are commonly used AP Chemistry text.  Each list text name, authors, publisher and ISBN for the editions that I have.  They may not be the newest edition.  If I know that they are the latest edition I will note that.  They are not listed in any particular order.  I have used various editions of #2, the Masterton text for thirty years.  If I am around long enough for another adoption I would select #1, Brown, LeMay.  This is strictly my opinion.
