I recently viewed some online free lecture series on Special theory of Relativity.
I think I have an understanding of the basics so far, but would like some books for problems on special relativity. (Preferably solutions or at least answer keys included).
It would be a great help if they available for free online too!

On a serious note though. The entire point of our book is to provide a substantial set of relativity problems with detailed solutions. Hopefully we managed.

Taylor and Wheeler is a great introduction. The red cover version of Taylor and Wheeler (not the free second edition that I am linking to) has complete solutions
