5.0 out of 5 stars Note on CD
This is not a review. In case anyone misses it the CD with the simulations is only available with the hard cover version of this book. Be aware of this when you make a choice to buy the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it
This book has some good information and is helpful when learning solid state physics. However, almost all of the material is available online and the simulations are quite dated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy the soft-cover book instead, February 17, 2004
By A Customer
The hardcover version of this book which includes the CD-ROM with all of the simulations is no longer in print. Check out the book's website at http://www.ruph.cornell.edu/sss/sss.html and you should be able to download the computer simulations for free (at least as of February 2004.) The paperback book is a very helpful companion to these programs and includes lots of useful exercises as well as concise summaries of the basic concepts of solid state physics without getting lost in mathematical derivations like most textbooks seem to do.
