I'm going to take the ECE this fall and will use IC and other sources for study. But I'd also like to have a textbook to make certain that I cover everything. Just need something affordable, but comprehensive. Any ideas? Amazon offers a fair amount of selections but I'd liek some personal feed back on particular books. Thanks in advance.

Good info, I'll try these. I own dozens of Psychology books and probably have books covering a lot of the material but nothing that combines all of this stuff into one book.
