Arnold Sommerfeld's books


Recently I was reminded of a series of textbooks by Arnold Sommerfeld. When I was a young man, these were obligatory offerings at any respectable bookstore. I never purchased them because I had other things on my plate. Now I cannot seem to find them in print.

I did find this assessment of these books:

"Arnold Sommerfeld: Lectures on Theoretical Physics
Sommerfeld is God for mathematical physics. "

I always assumed that Sommerfeld's books were required reading for anybody who is anybody in understanding (the) Universe. Can these books be resurrected?

Yes, but they are only a couple. IIRC, there were six or more volumes.
