Post your Physics books collection

[jokkon]

Hi everyone,

In 90% of social forums there is a thread where people post their computer/home office set up..etc. Given the number of people asking for which books to self learn a particular branch of physics, which books to use for a specific course...etc How about we post pictures of our collection of physics books? This might be of some interest to people.

I will start by posting mine.

I started my collection 3 years ago when I entered university. These are my prized possessions excluding the popular science book by james kakalios which I've been reading the past week for fun :P

Merry Christmas everyone!

Awesome! Thought no one else was interested.
just out of curiosity, what is that calculus of variations book? is it printed by dover?
I am looking for a text on that subject. Thanks!

I have the same book-
The Calculus of Variations- Gelfand, Fomin

It is the best book on the subject, and it is dover(so <$15).

Once I find my Camera, I will take a picture of my collections. (Hint: There is A LOT(many of which are unread))

I collect books, and, over many years, have accumulated a substantial library.

I'm ashamed. I will start the third year of a physics Bachelor's degree. When I saw this thread for the first time I had only 1 physics book : Electricity and Magnetism by E.Purcell.
This thread pushed me to buy another book : Mechanics by Landau & Lifgarbagez. The other books (2) I have are maths books. I have however photocopies of several books as all the students do here (but I'm not proud of it and I'm willing to buy other books).
So you don't need a picture for my collection.
