Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This didactically unrivalled textbook and timeless reference by Nobel Prize Laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji separates essential underlying principles of quantum mechanics from specific applications and practical examples and deals with each of them in a different section. Chapters emphasize principles; complementary sections supply applications. The book provides a qualitative introduction to quantum mechanical ideas; a systematic, complete and elaborate presentation of all the mathematical tools and postulates needed, including a discusion of their physical content and applications.
The book is recommended on a regular basis by lecturers of undergraduate courses.

I was disappointed with the packaging they sent the book in. It was only wrapped in paper on two ends, and the paper had ripped open so the book was barely in its package by the time it showed up in my mailbox. Somehow, the book was still in decent shape despite its packaging.
The book itself is highly technical, not a very easy read, but very thorough in dealing with the many facets of quantum mechanics.

I chose not to rate this product It was received in like used condition even though it was wrapped in plastic. it was litterally crammed into packaging that was barely big enough to hold it. that packaging was simple a brown envelope when I received the book there were some gouges in the packaging and the book had gouges in the edges of it that extended into the chapters of the book itself.
I am very dissatisfied with this product and will avoid amazon in the future.

If you're looking for a one-stop reference for your physics library, this is it. Complements ANY textbook, in fact it stands on its own better than any other quantum mechanics textbook that I've used so far (Including Sakurai, Bransden-Joachain, Gasiorowizc, Griffiths). The notation is convenient and easy, worked out "compliments" show you how to apply concepts and build your problem solving skills. Even as just a casual read on subjects you may not have been exposed to yet/ever, this text is great. I had this text recommended to me by basically every grad student and professor I've talked to, and I can now recommend it myself.
That said, many complaints I've read here have a common thread. This is not meant (at least it shouldn't be meant) as an undergraduate text. It definitely assumes at least a moderate understanding of underlying principles, although you don't have to be a genius either. I would never recommend this to an undergraduate student until you have been exposed to at least 2 semesters of the introductory stuff. Period.
Buy this book if you're looking for a one-stop quantum mechanics reference, for your graduate studies.

Almost no words needs to be said about this masterwork.
And rare are serious students of quantum mechanics who could really afford to ignore it.
Several important techniques and recent developments are omitted, but having grasped the material presented in these two volumes, learning further about quantum mechanics will prove astonishingly straightforward.
A caution remark is in order, though : these books don't really suit to self-study, due to their sometimes rather lengthy, verbose exposition, which could well quickly fade away an initially strong motivation for studying quantum mechanics, if not bolstered by a teacher's or fellow student's incentives.
