This wasn't my introduction to logic, but I like to skim it for refreshers, and it seems well-written enough to me.
My introduction was What is Mathematical Logic? by Crossley et al., which is a master class in terseness and probably more suitable for someone who's already got a foundation in logic. I must've read the first three chapters three times each, and the rest fewer times than I should've :-).

I am leaning toward the Philosophical Logic to start with.

Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for. I just read your other reply that you're looking for philosophical logic. I've got no experience with that at all and can't give a suggestion. But good luck with your learning!

#9I have good memories of studying logic at university with Understanding Symbolic Logic by Virginia Klenk.
