I purchased this text for my Calc 2-3 class at my university. (It is also used in Calc 1)
Very good book to do practice problems and the chapters are not difficult to read. As with all math, practice is key to doing well.
It is very similar to Stewart's book and I strongly recommend getting the solutions manual.
The Instructor's Edition is pretty much the same as the regular book! I found no differences in the problem sets or chapter readings. However it is cheaper!
