This hasn’t shipped yet, but Pojman knows what he’s doing.
this was pretty good, but of it only covers philosophy up to the early part of the 20th century, what is especially good is it written by a bona fide philosopher, fairly impartially.
these are very short introductions. This series has hundreds of little books (very cheap) that are all between 40–100 pages. They’ve easy to read, I had an Intro to Philosophy class my sophomore year of college that used three, and they added up to a very inexpensive $30 rather than the usual $100+ for a normal Philosophy text book. Plus, they have pictures! ^_^
this is a barnes and noble link, if you live in america (the other was for the uk)
if this is to help prep for a college course, I would probably look into something a bit heavier ;P
cengage is a good place to start looking
