• pages xi and xii (Contents pages): for all pages from 141 onwards subtract one from the number given
• page 13, the last two lines of the equation in the marginal note should read:
• page 21, equation (2.14), insert V next to 6m_e on the right hand part of the equation
• page 25, equation 2.25: change sign of numerator
• page 25, just above equation 2.28 an extra factor of B needs to be added to both sides of the expression following "In small applied fields"

• page 30, insert µ_B before <0| in equation 2.48 and µ₀ after 2 in the first term in equation 2.49
• page 34, Table 2.2, the term symbol for Sm³⁺ should be ⁶H_5/2 (not ⁶I_5/2)
• page 35, penultimate paragraph delete "angular" (appears twice)
• page 36, remove minus sign in Boltzmann factor on the line before equation (2.58)
• page 50, Fig. 3.6: the levels d_z2 and d_x2-y2 should be swapped

• page 84, problem 4.8, last bit shoud be -6J, 0, 4J, 6J and not 0, 2J and 6J.
• page 87, penultimate paragraph M_s should be M throughout.
• page 89, RHS of equation 5.11 needs a factor of 1/T
• page 109, equation 5.56 should be:
• page 117, last paragraph: At T=0 the system is perfectly ordered apart from quantum fluctuations
• page 120, in the list of exactly solvable models, (1) should read Most cases and (3) should read Many cases. (There are some pathological exceptions!)
• page 121, 9 lines after equation, "applicable to isotropic ferromagnets"
• page 127, Fig. 6.18: note that although plotted as if from a triple-axis spectrometer, the data were obtained on a time-of-flight instrument
• page 143, in the line before equation (7.14), the deficit of electrons with spin-down should be prepended with a minus sign, i.e. -n_downarrow=(1/2)g(E_F)µ_B\ B.
• page 144, equation 7.23 is missing a factor of µ_B on the RHS
• page 146, end of last term of equation (7.26) change ²) to )²

• page 156, equation 7.85, change 1+4k_F²/q² to 1+q²/4k_F²

• page 176, the formula for the phone number compound should end O₄₁
• page 196: Table A.1: the cgs unit of flux is G cm², not G cm^-2
• page 210: Eqn. C.56, m_e should be squared; Eqn. C.59, a 1/(m_e²c²) term is missing.
• page 220: Before Equation E.13, change entropy to magnetization
• page 223: Answer to 2.3, add: if you assume Cu²⁺ is spin 1/2, g=2, and use density and RMM. The answer is 3.35x10^-5 J/T if you use the measured susceptibility from table 2.1
• page 223: cos⁴, not cos² in Equation F.21
