I read this book in high school and enjoyed and benefited from it, before taking calculus. I am not sure now after over 50 years, but I seem to recall thinking this may have been influenced by (i.e. largely cribbed from) one of the great books on set theory, maybe the one by Hausdorff. (Indeed the amazon link confirms the two books have highly similar topics headings.) I do recall thinking it was a good source for beginners.

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!
