Which Statics Book Do You Recommend for Reference?

In summary, the conversation is discussing different options for a statics textbook for reference. Some options mentioned are "Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics and Dynamics 7e" by Ferdinand P. Beer, Jr., E. Russell Johnston, Elliot R. Eisenberg, William E. Clausen, and George H. Staab, "Engineering Mechanics-Statics 10e" by Russell C. Hibbeler, "Engineering Mechanics: Statics 4e" by Anthony Bedford and Wallace T. Fowler, and "Engineering Mechanics: Statics" by J.L. Meriam and L.G. Kraige. The general consensus is that "Engineering Mechanics: Statics - Beer and Johnstons" is a good option, with some

I'm currently using Statics: Analysis and design of systems in equilibrium by Sherri D sheppard.

My classmates and I want another statics book for reference. We are looking into

Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics and Dynamics 7e
Ferdinand P. Beer (Author), Jr., E. Russell Johnston (Author), Elliot R. Eisenberg (Author), William E. Clausen (Author), George H. Staab (Author)

Engineering Mechanics-Statics 10e
by Russell C. Hibbeler

Engineering Mechanics: Statics 4e
by Anthony Bedford (Author), Wallace T. Fowler

Engineering Mechanics-Statics 10e
by Russell C. Hibbeler

we use this one in our statics class, so far I find it pretty good, nice diagrams and helpfull examples... also I think you can get a supplementary solutions manual for it

I recommend Engineering Mechanics: Statics - Beer and Johnstons, but i used at college Engineering Mechanics: Statics - Jaan Kiusalaas and Andrew Pytel. Both are good, but the first one has more interesting exercices, i recommend get both.
