I'm looking for micro-econ textbook suggestions. I've been reading some textbooks and none of them seem very good. I'm five chapters into Perloff's book and it seems poorly worded, not super-mathematically developed, and disorganized. I read some of Pindyck's book and it seemed better but still the explanations are not the clearest. I also looked at a variety of free online books, all of which seemed to suffer from at least these short-comings if not more.

Ideally, I'd like an Econ book that cuts out all the bullshit--I don't need pretty pictures or wordy explanations. I just want the statement of the thing I need to know, a few worked examples, and a few example problems. I know Math well, so I doubt any intro book would be too mathematical for me, and in fact, the more mathematically rigorous the better.

@addem,
Check out:
McConnell Brue Flynn- easy to understand with some math
Parkin- better examples, more maths but more difficult to understand.

The problem with Micro is, there isn't a lot of difficult math inherent in the course. The most difficult part is calculating the area of a triangle. Everything else is just middle school level.
