This book has a lot of mistakes, especially with regards to the answers in the back, and generally gets bad reviews. The overall structure actually isn't bad, I don't think.

I have access to the author, however, and if I have a good list of errors I might be able to assist in improving it.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
