Tom makes a great point. You certainly want a textbook that will help students prepare for the AP Calc Exam.

 

By the way, I have created several PowerPoint slides for AP Calc. If you want them, let me know.

book based on the reputation of the author.  I've had experience with
a guy (I won't say the name) writing a couple good books and some real
bad ones. 
  Each "big" book company will have several different books for any
subject.  Call H-M, and McD-L, tell them who you are and ask them to
send you copies of their Precalc books, and pick whatever you think
will work best with YOUR kids.
