Concise Inorganic ChemistryConcise Inorganic Chemistry by J. D. Lee
Buy new: $70.20 / Used from: $66.67
the best intro Inorganic book IMHO. It's much more on the practical end of the subject. Not many in North America are aware of this fine book by a British author. End of chapter problems very appropriate for the target audience. might not have the full range topics as found in Housecroft/Sharpe, Douglas or Huheey.
Main Group Chemistry (Basic Concepts In Chemistry)Main Group Chemistry (Basic Concepts In Chemistry) by William Henderson
Buy new: $34.04 / Used from: $30.00
very simple intro to the field. could not be used for a full semester course. too thin.

I like this one, too. But it's a 100 page work. could not be used for a full semester course. much too thin.
Inorganic Chemistry (3rd Edition)Inorganic Chemistry (3rd Edition) by Catherine Housecroft
Buy new: $146.79 / Used from: $64.75
variations of Sharpe's books have been around forever. very good. This one is most likely to cover the full range of topics for a 2 or 3 semester course sequence.
Concepts and Models of Inorganic ChemistryConcepts and Models of Inorganic Chemistry by Bodie E. Douglas
Buy new: $137.64 / Used from: $39.38
similar to Housecroft/Sharpe i.e. broad topic coverage but weak in main group chemistry.
Inorganic Chemistry: Principles of Structure and Reactivity (4th Edition)Inorganic Chemistry: Principles of Structure and Reactivity (4th Edition) by James E. Huheey
Buy new: $147.19 / Used from: $21.99
a classic. similar to Housecroft/Sharpe and the Douglas book in topic coverage. again, weaker in main group chemistry.
Descriptive Inorganic ChemistryDescriptive Inorganic Chemistry by Geoff Rayner-Canham
Buy new: $114.85 / Used from: $74.31
widely used for terminal, 1 semester courses. Almost entirely devoted to main group chemistry but has 3 chapters introducing transition metals.
Basic Inorganic Chemistry, 3rd EditionBasic Inorganic Chemistry, 3rd Edition by F. Albert Cotton
Buy new: $123.79 / Used from: $23.45
nice survey of main group and transition metal chemistry. does not cover all the topics you'd see in Housecroft/Sharpe, Douglas or Huheey.

Descriptive Inorganic, Coordination, and Solid State ChemistryDescriptive Inorganic, Coordination, and Solid State Chemistry by Glen E. Rodgers
Buy new: $144.00 / Used from: $53.00
title says it all: lots of co-ordination chemistry followed by SS chem plus basic main group chem. Topic selection is a bit unusual IMHO.
Descriptive Inorganic ChemistryDescriptive Inorganic Chemistry by Kathleen A. House
Buy new: $190.95 / Used from: $25.70
a simpler book devoted primarily to main group chemistry with a bit of transition metal/co-ordination chemistry at the end.

I used an earlier edition during my undergraduate days. I didn't like it. too tough and problems bore no resemblance to chapter coverage. I wonder if it has changed any.
