The first book of E&M is for self-study

[Passers_by]

Can Classical Electromagnetism by Jerrold Franklin replace Griffith's for self-study? The book is now in its second edition.

It is a good book, but it is more advanced than Griffiths. If you have access to supplementary material and are really motivated, it MIGHT be possible, but I would recommend against it.

First, thank you for your advice. And what is the supplementary material?

It is written at a more advanced level, so there will be things that you will probably need expanded explanations for. For example, you might need more information on vector calculus and/or pde’s.
