hi... i hav just joined my engineering course for electronics... and I desperately need a descent book for solidstate physics to embark on... note that i'm a begginer in Quantum theory..

Kittel's, Introduction to Solid State Physics

[physiker_192]

Aschroft and Mermin's solid state physics is a classic and the treatment is more for beginners than Kittel's:
http://www.amazon.com/Solid-State-Physics-Neil-Ashcroft/dp/0030839939/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1286475551&sr=8-1

since you mentioned that you joined an electronics engineering class, typically they cover the basic concepts of crystallography and few other basic concepts, of the books intended for such purpose:

I really like Elementary Solid State Physics (http://www.amazon.com/Elementary-Solid-State-Physics-Applications/dp/0201607336/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1286575529&sr=8-1) by Omar

as( nbo 10 )says charls Kittel's, Introduction to Solid State Physics is the best
