Agree.

Although one can acquire the group-theoretic underpinnings by studying Weinberg vol 1, I found Maggiore to be an easier read.
 
A pretty good overview, but there are a few places in the text where trying to cram so much information into such a short book results in rather opaque explanations, at least for me.

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!
