It has been along time and I sold back my David Griffith's Introduction to Electrodynamics, b/c I didn't like the book much as far as problem solving goes... his examples lack to much formality. So, are they any suggestions.

Lorain and Corson, Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Phenomena (kindergarden),
and Jackson, Electrodynamics (first grade). Everything else is preschool.

I had to use Griffith's text for my senior level EM course...I know exactly what you mean, try Randall Knight's Physics for Scientist and Engineers: Volume 4
It is designed for calculus based EM course at the sophomore level. It contains colored pictures and diagrams that make it much more readable than Griffith's text. If you are thinking about purchasing a copy I will gladly sell you mine... I can't imagine I'll be looking at it anytime soon...

Halliday, Resnick, and Walker - Fundamentals of Physics
Serway and Jewett - Physics 6th edition
Excellent books for advanced level examples and calculus based
If you don't want that advanced than Holt makes an excellent textbook.

Griffiths is the easiest E&M college level text. Then next level up would be Brau, and then Jackson. But if you couldn't follow Griffith's problems, Jackson won't be much fun.
