Recommended UG Level Texts for Solid-State Physics Reference

[TheAustrian]

Anyone have any suggestions, what books are suitable for an UG level text on Solid-State Physics? I would like to have a book for reference, as when I was studying it, we didn't study based on any book.

Is this just for reference or for learning as well? Should it require knowledge of QM? What about group theory?

 

[TheAustrian]

A bit of both would be handy.

Ashcroft and Mermin is the standard at the UG level, for better or for worse.

There are a few other threads about this same topic so do a search. If you want to push ahead to more advanced material, perhaps hit these two (a working knowledge of QM is assumed of course):
