Halliday & Resnick Fundamentals of Physics is what we used in AP as well as in freshman year at college. Covers most sections one needs to be familiar with to be physics literate (solid/fluid mechanics, waves, thermo, electromagnetism, optics, relativity).

Is that still in print? That was the physics book we used my freshman year, in 1974. It was a great book. I’m still sorry I sold it.

That was my first year text book in 1998. Sounds like it's still going strong!
