I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good undergraduate level inorganic chemistry book for someone who is trying to self teach it.  

It would be nice if the text book had a solutions manual to go along with it so the problems can be checked.  

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks.

I can give you an anti-recommendation when I find my book.  It sucked.  It was so bad, in fact, that I never bothered to unpack it from my move.  I haven't really seen any great inorganic textbooks for the base level, but you might try these for more advanced work:

Greenwood & Earnshaw, Chemistry of the Elements.

Cotton & Wilkinson, Advanced Inorganic Chemistry.

Dear buddy,
Try Inorganic Chemistry by J.D.Lee

You could try inorganic chemistry by Housecroft and Sharpe

Houscroft has a few errors in it because it is relatively new, but I used it for intro inorganic chem and found it really useful.  Another one I consult is Shriver/Atkins, and there is another, Decock/Grey that is supposed to be good.

Cotton & Wilkinson, Advanced Inorganic Chemistry.

Basic Inorganic Chemistry by the same author isnt not bad as well

Decock/Grey is great. I love how they approach chemical bonding from quantum mechanics, but still is very practical.

quantum mechanics? how about physical chemistry by donald.a.mcquarrie (oxford university press)? LOL.. it's a non-traditional p.chem book that approaches p.chem from the basis of atomic structure using QM, then extends it to explain the rest of p.chem topics..
