Personality textbook?

Any recommendations for a good (undergraduate) Personality Psychology text book?

I'm teaching a 300 level course next year and I'd love a book rec if anybody has one. The person who taught last year said they weren't crazy about the book they used. A few recommendations so I can request exam copies of them would be wonderful! I'd like a book that isn't too dumbed down but still accessible to somebody at the 300 level.

I enjoyed this one: Personality Theory and Research. It wasn't cheap though.

The Personality Puzzle was the textbook used for my second year undergraduate course. It has an informal, chatty tone which makes it really accessible, and I enjoyed it enough that I occasionally still leaf through it for fun.

I really like "Beneath The Mask" --one of my all-time favorite textbooks. Very accessible, interesting reading.
