This is a review of the fourth edition hardcover.  I used this book for self study, so here are some thoughts on that.<br>First, Griffith's answer to the fourth edition are available on the web, but you have to do a bit of searching to find it.  Answer to the third edition are more easily available.<br>Second, the binding of the book does fall apart, and the cover does shred, so a lot of tape is needed.  However the pages themselves held up well.<br>Third, Griffiths is frugal with words.  I really found myself wishing that more was said and this is my biggest criticism of the book.  Maybe a teacher would have filled in what I wanted.<br>Fourth, the problems are hard.  Some problems are marked as being harder and oh boy are they hard.  When I say that the problems are hard I am comparing them to the difficulty of problems in Taylor's Mechanics which should be on the same level.  But Griffiths's problems are much harder.
