I'm in 3rd year intro to quantum, and I just got a 56% on my midterm. I'm looking for more material because my current textbook is Intro to quantum Physics by French and I really don't like it. I've had certain people recommend Griffiths but unfortunately my school's library doesn't have it. I was thinking of buying but I'm very apprehensive about spending another $100 which I don't have for a book I might use.

So my question is: Is Griffiths a good book for intro quantum, and if so is it worth the price?

What do you mean by get it from the internet?
 
download it from say emule or bit torrent.
