Review the book
The book is a good book and service is good as well

The best introduction
I think that this is the best introduction to QM. I’ve seen many people criticise this book for being informal, but this book is intended to be an INTRODUCTION to QM, so this critique is ungrounded. Upon reading this book, you will have a solid understating of QM and its principles, and you will be all suited to read more advanced texts, for example, the one by Sakurai (but if you are truly looking for rigour, you will of course read Hall’s book or Takhtajan’s book)

Excellent condition & Very good intro to QM
Excellent condition and in terms of the book's contents it's straightforward to understand and the book always explains the concepts of QM effectively. I'd say what's difficult is the math however that's quite expected. Nonetheless, it's a brilliant book to start with for your undergrad; through constant use, you will get the hang of it.

Bashed corners
This has become something like the definitive textbook for undergraduate study - the one everybody keeps referring to in social media. Good to have a copy on the shelf.Inside, this looks like a very nice book. Good quality paper and printing.I'm studying the mathematics of Quantum Mechanics from YouTube videos. Since YouTube videos are not always rigorous with their mathematical explanation, I plan to us this book to check out anything that I'm told on YouTube.As a pre-requisite, anybody buying this book should already be aware of Alive & Dead cats and double-slit experiments etc. Also they need to know about Linear Algebra, Complex Numbers and maybe a bit of probability theory AND be prepared for a bit of hard work to learn the mathematics presented in this book. It isn't just casual reading, it's a text book intended for study and worked exercises.Having paid around £50, I was hoping this book would be my pride and joy and not arrive with bashed corners as is so often the case buying books from Amazon. One star off for that.

A quantum gem
Griffiths' excellent book on quantum mechanics is a gem. The quality of print is top-notch, enhancing the reading experience. Brace yourself for a steep learning curve as you delve into this comprehensive yet accessible exploration of quantum physics

Very good introduction and challenging problemset
This book is very good for the first course in Quantum Mechanics. Students who are already familiar with QM will find the problemset to be useful - it introduces a lot of interesting concepts, even some ideas behind field quantization in QFT are mentioned in it.Also contains a nice chapter about the meaning of QM, including Bell inequality and other things. I think it's a good introduction into philosophy of the subject. But it mostly takes Copenhagen viewpoint. Many-worlds interpretation is hardly mentioned, which I think is a huge mistake even in the introduction to the subject, as I personally think that this interpretation contains a lot of deep insight into wave function collapse, even if many-worlds interpretation is not the final word on the subject.

Excellent introduction
This book is geared towards teaching the reader how to "do" quantum mechanics and is the ideal choice for newcomers or those who find the problems in other books too challenging. Some of the integration needed in this book may appear daunting to undergraduates. Having a numerical integration package will help you avoid becoming distracted by the integration and missing the physics.
