I know there are only so many ways to present formal logic to students, but this book is no substitute for a good instructor. It's calculations and formulas are precise, but its explanations are extremely wordy. What takes this book three or four chapters to explain could easily be explained by an articulate logician in about ten minutes. Still, it can be a very handy reference, so I may shelf it for future use.
The Logic Book with Student Solutions Manual by Merrie Bergmann (1997)
I have worn out my copy of this book and am holding it together with duct tape. This book covers the subjects of symbolic logic and meta-logic.
This is accessible without talking down to the students.

Good introduction to symbolic logic.
Totally flouncing. My current professor and tutors explain things much more clearly.
tedious. I'll only assign four chapters out of this and there is too much text.
