Logic textbooks

[ttreg]

Hello, I've been doing some studying on logic and critical thinking. I've decided instead of buying a bunch of books, I'd just buy a college text book. I have no idea of what to look for, though. Could anyone please recommend a textbook? Of course, it'd need to cover formal and informal logic and critical thinking. Thanks.

A classic text on this is "Come Let Us Reason: An Introduction to Logical Thinking" by Norman L Geisler and Ronald M Brooks. ISBN is 0801038367. It's not a "textbook" per se but it is still not easy reading, at least for someone like me who had no formal training in philosophy/logic in university. It's also available on the Norman L Geisler CD with a whole bunch of his other other books if you don't mind reading it as an ebook, Christianbooks.com has it for pretty cheap considering how many books you get on one CD:

Edit: Just noticed your atheist icon, this book is written from a Christian perspective so it probably wouldn't be appropriate for you, sorry I didn't notice that at first.
