I like his approach in this book and its successor volume, Quantum Mechanics, TTM. Haven't finished either, but the introductory chapters are enlightening in their own right.
 
Highly recommendable for the beginner in QM and classical physics!

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
