	If someone has a solution to this problem, I'd really like to 
know.  I'm teaching QM this fall, and after much searching settled on 
McGervey, though I'm not especially happy.  I found all the texts to be 
lacking in some way or another.  Iwas especially disappointed in 
Griffiths new QM book as I expected it to be of the same caliber as his 
EM book.  I found it way too formal and better suited for grad. level.  
I'm putting on reserve Liboff, Saxon, Griffiths, Goswami, and the 
original Eisberg.  I will tell the students to use all freely.
