1. References [2]-[8] cover a broad range of quantum mechanics topics. These are heavy on the formalism and its applications, but lighter on the concepts and interpretation; two of my favorites are [2], [3]. Examples of books with more even or the reverse emphasis are [4]-[7]. Reference [8] is a one volume collection of many of the founding and classic papers.
