Summary: Definitely not a book for beginners...
Comment: This book can probably be good for anybody looking for a specific information about X-ray diffraction. For this price really cool. But please, definitely not for anybody who has never heard about diffraction and really wants to understand this topic. Book has very little sample examples not completely solved and explained. On the other hand, it containes a number of really complex problems without any results! Take a look at another book instead.
Rating: 2
Summary: 100% mathematics
Comment: This is a mathematical approach to x-ray diffraction. If you want a more technical, less abstract book (with some history), order the Sir L. Bragg book. That one is much more comprehensible, actually enjoyable.

Summary: An Advanced Classic on Diffraction
Comment: As it may be clear from the one-line summary given above...it is quite difficult to evaluate this book. I personally like this book, however, I would not recommend anyone to try to learn x-ray diffraction by reading it. This book elegantly shows the theory behind a broad range of experimental observations one can accomplish using x-ray diffraction by going into the broader theory of scattering. Hence it is basically a book on scattering as applied to x-rays. The use of space group determination and Structure determination are given only a superficial attention, which I think must be discussed in detail in a book on x-ray diffraction. However, the chapter on x-ray studies on order-disorder is outstanding (it is Prof. Warren's personal area of interest). In other words, this is a rather advanced and quasi-theoretical treatment of a very applied method indeed. Therefore, in my opinion, it is of limited use to the solid state science community in general. However, it is a very nicely written book (though quite abstract) hence I'd rather give 4 stars instead of 3. Get this book if you really have a very specialized interest in x-ray diffraction...otherwise you can live without it.
