Review: A small and easy to understand text, not too much math

Rating:
Summary: An excellent introductory book!
Review: This book is short, easy to read, yet it gives the reader a simple but clear picture of the solid state. It was used as a reference book for the introductory solid state physics course which I took in my first year of graduate study at Harvard. I enjoyed the book a lot.
