Hello, I'm looking for an introductory model theory book that is relatively cheap. Any suggestions?
Currently reading from "A Shorter Model Theory" by Wilfrid Hodges from a school copy, I may buy this one .. unless anybody has any other suggestions?

Thanks

The Marker book is very interesting looking, especially if you are interested in seeing applications of model theory ( and logic ) to other fields of mathematics!
The one I like at the moment is:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/9056993135/?tag=pfamazon01-20

and it has a pretty cool section about group theory!

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!
