Summary: Only for serious people
Comment: The books, despite being older than me, is still THE text book in solid state (same way as Led Zep is king of classical rock). Comprehensive, NO look-up-in-the-text kind of problems and thorough. People always wonder why there is no second edition of this book, simply because there isn't a single book which can meet its high standard.
Apart from that, you need a good teacher to teach this book. I took course in advanced solid state and used the same book, didn't even had a feeling of k-space. But later was blessed to take the course again with Aschroft. Not only he is an excellent researcher, but extra-ordinary teacher. Rediscovering solid state again was fulfilling with one of the best teacher and one of the best book to follow.

Summary: Excellent book.
Comment: If you do want to have a set of clear concepts on solid state
physics, this book is a good choice.
Rating: 2
Summary: Poorly Written and Presented
Comment: The book is not easily read. The subject-matter is no more difficult than the Kittel version but the author does a poor job of displaying the material. It is often esoteric and incomprehensible. In addition to a poorly-written text, the assigned problems are not even related to what is covered in the text. The author has made the unfortunate assumption that he is the only one who will every read the text. There a very few students who could ever learn from this book.
