Princeton University Press has a sale going on in which a few physics
books seem to have been included as an afterthought (if you saw the
catalog, you would know what I mean). However, that very short list
includes one gem:
****************************************
Quantum Theory and Measurement
by Wheeler and Zurek
(HARDCOVER)
List= around $100
Sale= around $40 + $3 shipping
****************************************
This is a magnificent book. A softcover version sells for $35. But for
an 850 page book, five extra dollars for the hardcover are well worth it.
To order the book,
(i) Call 1-800-777-ISBN
(ii) The operator will ask you which catalog you are ordering from.
Say "Princeton Special Sale 1992".
(iii) Now the operator will ask you for something called "PSC Number"
printed on the back of the catalog.
Feel free to say "1"; that's what it says on my catalog.
(iv) Now they want the "P Number" for this book: It is "P725"
^^^^
(v) From now on, it's easier: address, credit card #, etc...
In case someone has been reading too fast: I AM NOT SELLING THIS BOOK!
PLEASE CALL PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS DIRECTLY AT THE ABOVE NUMBER.
The catalog contains a few other interesting items in history and
philosophy of science, but for physics this is the pick of the pack.
