The chapter on tensors, especially spherical tensors is brilliant. Sakurai refers to this book, goes to show how good this is.

It's a brilliant book in terms of approach and range of topics, but alas it is terrible in terms of execution!

An extremely boring read, which is terse, hand wavy and poorly organized, it is perhaps one of the worst possible books to recommend for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses on the subject.

The best approach to QM I have ever read. The only physics book that I saw and loved as if it was a classic novel by a giant writer.
