I would probably consider Mankiw's Principles of Microeconomics as the best textbook on the subject I've come across, but Perloff's is a very close second.
It was chosen by MIT as the main textbook for the Microeconomics online course I followed, and, as the rule goes, when in doubt always trust MIT.
Both Mankiw's and Perloff's are packed with information, and written in a super clear and straightforward way. Perloff is perhaps even more synthetic and to the point.
I can safely recommend one or the other (or both) to anyone who wants to learn the discipline and needs a solid introduction.

Good stuff! The classical economics that one expects from a University of Chicago class. Keynesian views are snuck into class lectures by the professor. I like the small, snarky economic anecdotes the author inserts into the chapters. And the homework problem about the porn industry had me laughing out loud. I recommend this intro text to all those curious about the fundamentals of microeconomics.

Econ is not at all my strong suit.
This book was a bit confusing to me. The sample questions seemed fairly understandable and easy but actual practice I struggled with. There's some tidbits and anecdotes throughout the book that try to keep your interest.

A friendly introduction, almost no maths. Good explanations.
