Morse and Feshbach's monumental textbook.

Anyone knows if a newer edition will ever be published?
I read this comment:

But 8-9 years have passed since then.

It's nice to see Arfken offer homage to M&F, which was the bible for all oldtimers. I don't think a new edition is likely, because a publisher will not visualize enough money in it.

I doubt it, it seems that you can get a copy fairly reasonably, I paid ~$100 each vol back in the late '80's. I agree with Meir, no publisher would ever pick it up, saying that, if it was brought to the attention of Dover Books, they might, they seem to pick up some of the best books out there which are dated.

Herman Feshbach passed away in 2000, Morse in 1985. A revision would have to be undertaken by a third party.

I understand the importance of staying updated with the latest research and information in our field. In regards to the question about a new edition of Morse and Feshbach's textbook, it is difficult to say for certain if there will be a new edition published in the future. However, it is worth noting that the original publication of this textbook was in 1953 and it has undergone several revisions since then. The last edition was published in 1981, so it is possible that a new edition may be in the works.

However, it is also important to consider that the field of physics is constantly evolving and new discoveries are being made all the time. Therefore, it may be more beneficial to seek out more recent textbooks or resources that may provide more up-to-date information. I would recommend keeping an eye out for any updates or announcements from the authors or publishers of Morse and Feshbach's textbook, but also exploring other resources to supplement your knowledge.
