Solid State Physics, by N. W. Ashcroft and D. N. Mermin, Holt-Sanders
This is the standard complete introduction to solid state physics. It has many many chapters
on topics we won’t be studying, and goes into great depth on almost everything. It may be
a bit overwhelming to try to use this as a reference because of information-overload, but
it has good explanations of almost everything

 

Introduction to Solid State Physics, 8ed, by Charles Kittel4, Wiley
This is a classic text. It gets mixed reviews by some as being unclear on many matters. It
is somewhat more complete than Hooke and Hall, less so than Ashcroft and Mermin. Its
selection of topics and organization may seem a bit strange in the modern era.
