From the reviews:
"The rapid soldout of the two previous editions by itself demonstrates the high value of this book. The reader will have indeed the opportunity to gaze on the formidable mastering of functional analysis by Elliot Lieb and to discover mathematical and Physical depths in the description of, after all, familar physical phenomena. [...] The third edition contains new developments compared to previous ones, witnessing that the field is still lively. In particular there are important results concerning systems of bosons. [...] In conclusion, this book is a delight for readers interested in the stability and related properties of many-body systems. It, moreover, offers the oppertunity to admire the elegant mathematical considerations and the penetrating physical insight of a great theoretician." (Physicalia, 2002)
