Try calling 1-800-TI-CARES and ask about the Explorations Activity Books.  In
particular, Using the TI-86 in Collegiate Mathematics by Dodd and Cruthirds.
Also visit the site <http://www.ti.com/calc> and look for the books.

Another source for books is Venture Publications.  Their site is
<http://www.vent-pub.com>.   George Best and Sally Fischbeck have a book
published by Venture titled Using the TI-85 to Explore Precalculus and
Calculus.  While not written for the 86, it contains great ideas.
