    Though the answers are not worked out in the book, I enjoyed
    Simmonds and Mann's 'A First Look at Perturbation Theory' (Kreiger).  
    It seems to be the way I would have liked to learn perturbation
    theory had I the luxury of actually taking a class 
    before being forced to learn it.   I wish the book had
    been available when I was forced to learn it.
