I am currently using this text for one of my classes. I find it difficult to read from this book and I often have to use other materials to supplement the topics in this book. Even the newest edition is riddled with errors. Its as if none of the editors ever actually read the book before publishing it.

None the less it is a classical introduction. Just be ready to get very intimate with the book.

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!
