Can someone tell me please, what is the difference between:

- World Scientific Pub Co Inc edition (May 1998) ISBN-10: 9810227078 (Amazon price $73.00)
and
- World Scientific Pub Co Inc edition (March 1998) ISBN-10: 9810241054 (Amazon price $55.35)

and what causes such a big difference in price?

Thanks,
Zdenek

This book covers a few topics I do not think are covered well, or at all, in other texts, such as state preparation. It's a great book.

I have resolved the mystery. ISBN-10: 9810227078 edition is a hardcover. Amazon erroneously lists it as a paperback.

Great book, that offers a few insights not found in other book. Not suitable as an introductory text.

The only textbook I know which starts with the representation theory of the Galilei group (it is a book about non-relativistic QM) and considers quantisation in that context, which is the proper way to go. Very recommendable.
