Summary: Schaum's Quantum Mechanics
Comment: The rapidly rising Israeli science represented by Peleg et al. produced here an unusually concise, clear, and well organized presentation of a complicated subject with the benefits of worked out problems. They managed to do this with little sacrifice of detail, providing a mathematical background chapter and even a chapter on the foundations of quantum mechanics with six postulates and a discussion of the Schrodinger versus Heisenberg pictures. Dirac's bra and ket notation is explained and used frequently, and the difficult subject of spin receives its own chapter. The book keeps up with latest trends in mathematical and physics research by having three chapters on solution/approximation methods (one of the main recent trends in mathematics and physics is obtaining solutions and approximations for equations including those of Schrodinger, Einstein, Navier-Stokes). The complicated topic of scattering theory receives its own chapter, as do angular momentum and radiation by semiclassical treatment. For more detailed works, see my reviews of Cao, Carlip, Kursunoglu, etc., and also the book Quasi-classical Methods.

Summary: Re: Low on solved problems
Comment: This refers to the 'Low on Solved Problems Review'
I cannot think of a more inaccurate thing to say, even if you didn't like the book. The whole book is *full* of solved problems, that's the whole point. My main critique is that there are too many errors but most of them aren't hard to spot. Anyone studying quantum should get this book and use the solved problems to help you understand how to solve those tricky quantum questions (just beware of errors and you should be ok).
Make sure you also pick up the 'Problems and Solutions on Quantum Mechanics' from Y-K Lim et al at the University of Science and Technology in China.

Summary: Too Advanced
Comment: I have taken an introductory course in quantum and am now studying intermediate quantum. This book has been of no help. This book is way too advanced and should be entitled, "Schaum's Outline of Quantum Mechanics for Post-Doctorates of Physics."
