Landau Lifshitz Course of Theoretial Physics

AI Thread Summary
Lamont, a graduate physics student, is seeking the complete series of "A Course of Theoretical Physics" by Landau and Lifgarbagez. He found a set on Flipkart for approximately 9000 Rs but is concerned about the quality of the books, as there are reports of receiving used or damaged copies. A participant in the discussion reassures him about their positive experiences with Flipkart, suggesting that issues with book condition may stem from delivery practices. Additionally, they recommend checking out bookstores at IISc Bangalore and IIT-M (Tata Bookhouse) as alternative sources for the complete series.

Hello,

Name is Lamont, new here. I am currently a graduate physics student.

I have been looking for A Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifgarbagez. I can find the books individually but I cannot find the whole series together. I found one site, Flipkart.com, that does seem to have them for ~ 9000 Rs which is cheap, but I was reading they sometimes send used and tattered books.

Does anyone know where I can buy the whole series as a set, preferably, but not necessarily, on the cheap (i.e. from outside of the US).

Thanks you all for your time.

-Lamont

My friends and I have ordered from flipkart many times and have always received books in good shape. The used and tattered condition may come about due to the people who are delivering it.

If you want some other source, IISc Bangalore has a bookstore and so does IIT-M (The Tata bookhouse). You can get the complete series here.
 
Thanks, appreciate it.
 
This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
