Feynman books

[mgatepi]

Hi Guys,

I am seeking a little help to find a series of books by Feynman. He was a theoretical physicist who published a series of books. My son who is a graduate student, wants the original series for Christmas. My question is; how do I know if the series was his original or a newer version???

Anyone here familiar with this and can help direct me into the right area???

Ebay has several listed....but how do I know??

Thanks!!

try a used book store - many are online, Powell's is one

BTW - the books are great; unusual for a undergrad. physics major text (I like the Berkeley books for that) tho Cal tech used them as texts

Thanks !!
I will check Powells. But how do I know which series to purchase? My son mentioned a newer or revised series that isn't as well done.
Actually my son is in graduate school at FSU. He graduated from Miami U in Ohio majored in Chemistry and Physics and plans for a Phd in Chemistry.

call them up and ask - while I doubt you will find too many Physics PhDs there (all the unemployed ones after the SCSC was defunded started driving taxis AFAIK) all the workers are book nerds - ask for the technical books people if needed

I believe it's Richard Feynman.
I heard one as an audio book years ago, there was a chapter(?) where he described his method of finding the combination to his colleague's safes. I'd like a copy of that book to give to a locksmith buddy of mine.

Nostatic just posted links to Amazon.com for two books Feynman wrote.

See here. I bought one used for $4.

alibris.com will also point you to first (and signed) editions. They're an aggregator of lots of little book shops...

You can get the whole lecture series (latest version ) for $140 on Amazon. For an original, you'll have to hit ebay or alibris or other site.

AH - not just a book. Did not read closely enough.

They are called the Feynman lectures. Original editions were large format, red cover, multiple volumes. I had them back in the 70s, no idea where they are now.

Also try "adall" for used books. They reference sources around the world:
