The one I had in college and which I now keep in my office bookcase is Physics, David Holiday and Robert Resnick (Wiley & Sons, Inc). My edition is from 1978, which shows you how old I am. I don't know if it's still in publication, but any basic college physics book is about the same. Oh, one thing you do need to distinguish. Are you a science/engineering major or not? Books geared for science/engineering majors derive equations using calculus. Others don't.
