March is excellent but very dense - it is not as engaging as Carey & Sundberg and can be overwhelming, but is a very useful book to have on the shelf as you become more proficient in the subject. It is better as a reference text than a learning text in my opinion.

I don't recommend March as a main text for 1st year undergrads, but do for 2nd year and beyond. For 1st year I would go with something more engaging to ease you in - like Carey and Sundberg or Clayden, etc.
My research: Google Scholar and Researchgate

I am about to finish Clayden, so I will read Carey & Sundberg next. But the MO theory seems to be very deeply examine in that book. Do I need to read first a book in that filed to understand Carey & Sundberg?

From times to times check: http://www.betterworldbooks.com/ - sometimes used books cost there 3-5 $ (with free shipping worldwide) - filter: used and bargain bin.

Organic Chemistry as a Second Language: First Semester Topics

This book has used a very systematic and simple approach for learning chemistry .I have found book more concise and easy to make my students understand even difficult topic of organic chemistry.

Guys is there a big difference between newer versions of the same book? I mean the price difference is sometimes close to 100$.. For example March´s 5ed is for 20 but the 7th is close to 100

After Clayden, should I continue with the series S.Warren: Disconnection approach and then Strategy & Control or Carey, Sundberg Advanced OC?

Where to find the solutions for Advanced Organic Chemistry by Carey,Sundberg. In the book it is said: A new
feature is solutions to these problems, which are also provided at the publisher’s
website at springer.com/carey-sundberg
The website is complicated: http://www.springer.com/carey-sundberg/TOC/?referer=springer.com. Where are the solutions?
