Book recommendation for classical mechanics

Hello everyone,



I have to choose a book for classical mechanics. After reading a lot through the forum, I find that the book by A.P French and the one by Kleppner is a good buy for my undergraduate course in classical mechanics. Also, is the book by Mary Boas for Mathematical methods a good book? Please give some advice on which one to have.



Thanking you all,
