I have the opportunity to get a Springer book for free, provided that it is cheaper than 200$. I am considering an introductory one about Solid State Physics, but I have never heard about a valid one from Springer (I know about Kittel, Ashcroft and Simon only). Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you very much!

Just search via Springer Link:

There are of course very many books about condensed-matter/solid-state physics from this publisher.
 
Thank you vanhees71. I know there are tons of solid state physics book published by Springer; I was looking for a recommendation for a particularly valid one. Thank you anyway!
 
Well, I'm not so familiar with condensed-matter physics and the literature. My favorite is Altland's textbook but that's not published by Springer.

It’s made it to second edition which is a good sign. Notice that you can download the front matter.

Edit: After searching I also found
Patterson and Bailey

Ibach and Luth

Madelung

This one seems like a companion book.

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!
