Ignore the "Introduction" in the title. Madelung's book is an advanced description of condensed matter physics, circa 1978. He wastes no time over elementary quantum mechanics.

Madelung Solid-state theory
The book by Ashcroft and Mermin provides definitely a more didactic introduction into this subject.

This review is from: Introduction to Solid-State Theory (Springer Series in Solid State Sciences) (Hardcover)
Ignore the "Introduction" in the title. Madelung's book is an advanced description of condensed matter physics, circa 1978. He wastes no time over elementary quantum mechanics. To give you some idea, the Hartree-Fock approximation is quickly dealt with in the first chapter, in a mere 6 pages.Later chapters progressively add on more interactions. Giving quasi-electrons and plasmons. Second quantisation is used to provide a simple modelling of interactions. From the electron-hole interaction in semiconductors, the phenomenon of excitons is explained. While the ion-ion interaction gives phonons. Semiconductor optics should interest some readers. The basis of solid state lasers. He describes electron-photon and phonon-photon interactions. The reader should be at the level of a 3rd or 4th year undergraduate, at least. More typically, perhaps a graduate student.
