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!

I recommend also the books by Walter Greiner:
Unfortunately, most Greiner books are e-books only these days. I do not know why Springer has discontinued them. I really enjoyed his Quantum mechanics field theory and Quantum mechanics symmetries books.

Can still be bought used for a decent penny.

Many years ago, as the internet was coming of age, I burned over 500 pounds of technical manuals. I realized I can look things up on the internet faster than I can find something in a technical manual. And just about anything I might need could be found online. But letting go of my several shelves worth of college text and other science books is another matter. I can't bring myself to get rid of them but there is very little if anything I can't find online now. Books are heavy and a pain...
