A Classic
Born and Wolfe is a classic of Optics. Not a text for the novice.

Physics is good, equations in eBook version are hard to read
The physics in this book is, sort of, Bible, although a little bit of outdated in some aspects. The problem is the display of equations in the eBook version. The first figure is the screenshot of a page of eBook version of the book, and the second figure is the same page of the same book shown in the "LookInside" preview in the Amazon webpage. It is very difficult to follow the equations with this size. Each time I try to see the equations, I need to magnify in one way or another. I contacted Amazon support, and was told that magnifying is the only solution for now. I hope this is fixed and I can download a version with normal size equation display.

Equations are unreadable
The equations do not scale with font size and are natively too small to read on my iPad. I highly recommend you do not buy this book.

Electronic version has unreadable equations which the iPad accessibility ZOOM remedies.
This is a classic text which is considered essential for those that already know that for which they are looking. At first I thought the Kindle ebook version for an Apple iPad was criminal to sell since the equations were too small to read and the publisher when contacted said that they had contracted out the ebook version and would see if the contractor would fix this error (that was many months ago and it hasn’t happened). I recently discovered (for other reasons) that I could go to the Accessibility feature under Setup on the iPad and turn on zoom and make it so that a zoom box would magically appear that I could put over the equations when the “Use trackpad gesture to zoom” option was enabled. This allows one to double-tap three fingers to zoom in and out and the zoom box can be moved; this actually works on the touchscreen. Too bad Cambridge Press doesn’t just ante-up and get this fixed; there are countless complaints in the reviews which seem to ignore.

very small formula font size in book
I don't know why the book's formula font size is tiny!

Darei 4 estrelas pois o envio foi de má qualidade. O produto chegou sem plastificação e colocado de qualquer jeito dentro da caixa, com partes amassadas danificando algumas partes do produto.

60周年を記念して、発行されたそうです。本テキストの引用文献をもとに、原書を探すのが良いと思います
