My class used Varian's intermediate micro, and some parts of his grad text whenever possible. It was a very good text; it explained concepts clearly, and the math was easy to understand. I also used Nicholson, and although the level of clarity isn't the same as Varian's (although some of my study group friends might disagree), the text explains concepts pretty well, and the problems in the book were of big help. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, it does answer my question. Thank you
I guess I might end up trying to get a copy of Varian's intermediate micro as well. After I posted here I thought of taking a look at MIT's OCW website to see if any of the books I mentioned were
listed there but I saw MWG and Varian's Analysis instead, among other postgraduate textbooks. The same happens for
intermediate macro, the recommended book there is Romer's
