Many universities including the one I went to use Hibbeler for statics and Meriam-Kraige for general dynamics (or some combination of these authors). I wouldn't worry about getting the absolute latest edition of these books — anything published later than ~2005 should be about the same.

It also looks like Hibbeler authored a combined statics-dynamics text to cover both topics, but I've never used it.

The Hibbler text is a standard:

Trust me, use this book:

https://www.amazon.com/Engineering-Mechanics-Statics-Dynamics-14th/dp/0133915425

The pdf versions and worked out solutions to all the problems are floating around the internet in pdf form somewhere. This book saved me and was a WAY better resource than anything they used in class
