Calculus: Early Transcendentals (Stewart's Calculus Series) Review
The obvious: this book is long, bulky and expensive. However, there is the option of buying it used, and if you don't intend to do all three courses of calculus (or you spend a lot of time carrying your books around), it may make sense to buy the book in parts -- it's also sold in Calc 1/Calc 2/Multivariable sections.
As for the content, the text is nothing spectacular: while Stewart manages to nail some things, presenting them clearly and succinctly, there are also many long useless passages. My advice: don't try to read the book, just study his examples, which are often (but not always) quite good, and hope your teacher does a better job explaining the concepts that missed out on a good explanation here.
For good examples, good problems, good page layout and a favorable comparison to other mainstream university-level calculus texts, I rate it a 4/5.
