I take everything back. My quantum book is quite possibly the best textbook I have ever had.
It's clear. It's straightforward. It is thorough enough to be understandable, but not so verbose that I fall asleep.
Best of all, it includes amusing side comments, such as:
"What is the amplitude of the oscillation? (If your amplitude is greater than a/2, go directly to jail.)"
"Compute <p>. (As Peter Lorre would say, "Do it ze kveek vay, Johnny!")"
If all textbook authors had just a little bit of a sense of humor, my life would be so much more pleasant.
