Other Which Springer books to buy? (QM, GR and statistical mechanics)

Click For Summary
Springer books are currently on sale, prompting an undergraduate student in Europe to seek recommendations for textbooks in quantum mechanics (QM), general relativity (GR), and statistical mechanics. Several specific titles are suggested, including links to books that cover these subjects comprehensively. Notably, Walter Greiner's works are highlighted as valuable resources, although many are now only available in e-book format due to discontinuation of print editions by Springer. The discussion emphasizes the importance of selecting quality textbooks to support academic studies and future career aspirations in physics.

Hello, Springer books are on sale this week so I wanted to buy some textbooks to support my studies and (eventual) future career.
I'm an undergrad (in europe) and my courses next year will be QM, GR and statistical mechanics, so I was looking for books about these topics, but any suggestion on what to buy would be very welcome, thank you!

Can still be bought used for a decent penny.

Im currently reading mathematics for physicists by Philippe Dennery and André Krzywicki, and I’m understanding most concepts however I think it would be better for me to get a book on complex analysis or calculus to better understand it so I’m not left looking at an equation for an hour trying to figure out what it means. So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
