This is a classic reference for students learning microeconomic theory, both in economics and business degrees.

It offers a nice combination of motivating real-life examples, rigor, figures, and intuitive explanations.

Because it avoids mathematical details in most chapters, it is often used in introductory courses, helping get students “hungry for more” in next courses, such as intermediate or advanced microeconomics.

However, it assumes a bit more mathematical background than Krugman and Wells’ book (presented above), so it can be used as the main reference for introductory courses if students have some basic algebra.

From Ana's list on getting into microeconomics.
