Text
Either: Hart, Craine, Hart, and Hadad, Organic Chemistry, A Short Course, 12th Edition, 2007. The accompanying Study Guide and Solutions Manual is strongly recommended.

Or: the paperback version of Hart, Craine, Hart, and Hadad, Organic Chemistry, A Short Course, 12th Edition, 2007 which combines the text and the solutions manual is a single book. It is much cheaper, but since it is a paperback, it may be more difficult to resell the book at the end of the semester.
