Book recommendation?

I'm looking for recommendations for a good, college-level astronomy text. I know the basics already, but am interested in getting a little deeper into the subject. Something I could find at my local library would be best.

Thanks in advance.

This might be too basic, but my introductory Astronomy text last year was Michael Seeds' Horizons: exploring the universe (http://server1.fandm.edu/departments/Astronomy/textbooks/textHor.html). It includes the CD-ROM for the student version of the wonderful starmap program The Sky (http://www.bisque.com/products/thesky6/).
