I'm currently going through Hoffman and Kunze, and so far it doesn't seem too challenging, however some of the problems later in the book are pretty rough. Does anyone know if they sell a solution guide to the problems? It'd be nice to check my solutions!

@HallsofIvy: read your link again, and conclude that the solutions are not available ;)
Only the fake "Sponsored Links" contain your search terms.
 
I've already done a massive search via google, scanning approximately 12 pages with 25 links on each page, so my conclusion is that it doesn't exist...

Which is why I posted it here in the first place because if there is anyone who knows whether it exists or not, they would most definitely be here!
