To keep everything as simple and organized as possible, I put together this document to help your student(s) get the correct textbook for APUSH. Please note that the textbook is the ONLY required text for this course. I will recommend other sources when we start in the fall, and all other in-class sources will be provided by me to keep costs low.  \nPlease take a look at the following suggestions/links to retailers about the textbook.  \nRequired Textbook: Eric Foner’s Give Me Liberty (5th or 6th AP editions are acceptable) I will be using the 6th AP edition in class (see last links on this page) for pacing purposes (i.e. page numbers), but the content is the same with real minor exceptions that I will cover.  \nThings to Consider: There are a LOT of Give Me Liberty editions out there. Please keep two things in mind:  \n1) Do you have the combined version or just one of the volumes? Most of the editions are broken up into two volumes and if you choose that edition (or any other with two volumes), you will need BOTH.  \n2) Avoid the “brief” editions ofthe textbooks. They are just survey textbooks and to do well in APUSH, your student(s) will need either the FULL, COMBINED, or SEAGULL versions. According to the publisher, the Seagull editions are full text but with fewer pictures. You don’t need all the images from the textbook for APUSH, therefore the full vs. combined vs. seagull is more of a personal choice.  \nHere are some links where you can find the textbook. One last thing: students are welcome to get the printed book or an e-book. They will be using the textbook mostly at home, so I don’t  \nhave a preference for the format.
