Landau Lifshitz Course of Theoretial Physics

In summary, Lamont is a new graduate physics student looking for A Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifgarbagez. He has found the books individually but is struggling to find the whole series as a set. He has found a site, Flipkart.com, that offers the series for a cheap price but is concerned about receiving used and tattered books. He is asking for suggestions on where to purchase the series, preferably outside of the US. Some members suggest ordering from Flipkart as they have had positive experiences, while others recommend bookstores at IISc Bangalore and IIT-M as alternatives.

Hello,

Name is Lamont, new here. I am currently a graduate physics student.

I have been looking for A Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifgarbagez. I can find the books individually but I cannot find the whole series together. I found one site, Flipkart.com, that does seem to have them for ~ 9000 Rs which is cheap, but I was reading they sometimes send used and tattered books.

Does anyone know where I can buy the whole series as a set, preferably, but not necessarily, on the cheap (i.e. from outside of the US).

Thanks you all for your time.

-Lamont

My friends and I have ordered from flipkart many times and have always received books in good shape. The used and tattered condition may come about due to the people who are delivering it.

If you want some other source, IISc Bangalore has a bookstore and so does IIT-M (The Tata bookhouse). You can get the complete series here.
