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!

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!

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

This one seems like a companion book.
