For those seeking a good and reasonably priced book on quantum chromodynamics (QCD), "Quantum Field Theory" by Peskin and Schroeder is recommended, though it is noted to be on the expensive side for new copies. Another suggested resource is the paperback version of Greiner's book specifically on QCD, priced at around $77. It is highlighted that finding quality books under $60 is challenging. Additionally, engaging with research papers on arXiv is emphasized as a crucial way to deepen understanding of QCD.

If you're beginner, choose Peskin&Schroeder ( expensive price for new copy) every good QFT book is expensive .. after that just take Greiner book ( Quantum Chromodynamics ) paperpack version for 77$, Its very hard to find a good book and price under 60$ like this. And Another Important thing is to read papers on arXiv, read a lot of papers on QCD, this is the most important thing.

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...
Largely what the title says. I'm a retired chemical engineer, but for my own re-education, I'd like to review my college physics courses. Those were more than 50 years ago, and a portion has slipped away from lack of need/use. So...how about recommendations for general (say, 200 or 300 level) physics textbooks? It would really be handy if such a book/books were available as free PDFs (yeah, I know...I'm cheap). Thanks very much.
