Clayden text

Does anyone use the Clayden textbook?  I'm considering switching to it.  The inclusion of additions to carbonyls in first semester is intriguing to me.  The fact that it's cheaper than most of the other textbooks is also a plus.  I'm interested in hearing from others who have used it or considered it.

Recommendations for OChem Text and Online HW System

I am looking to change books for OChem.  Our school has a 2 semester sequence where the 1st semester is a survey of an entire year and the nd semester is a more in depth look at various topics.  I teach the 2nd semester and we've been using an old version of Carey (I think 6th ed).  I also used Sapling Online HW last time I taught, and I liked it.  However, they are raising their prices and I'm looking for a cheaper online version.  Do people have recomendations f books and online HW systems that they are using?  Why do you like that particular book or online HW system?
