Summary: Too much algebra, too little explanation in the physics
Comment: This book is loaded with algebra of Lagrange multiplier, partition function, and the derivation of the different distributions. In quantum statistics it jumped into short discussions of spin and solutions of the Schrodinger equation disregarding the fact that these material require at least a second course in quantum mechanics.
The discussion on the physical interpretation of the underlying physical behavior of atoms and particles is minimal.
Another Dover book by Jackson "Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics," targeted towards the same audience is a much better written text.
