The Felder & Felder book looks really good and doesn't seem as mathematical as Walecka i.e. more expository. Looking at the ToC/Sample the chapters have a good progression and are nicely setup.
The print copy however seems prohibitively expensive :-(
The print copy of Felder and Felder looks to be cheaper than Young and Freedman at both Barnes and Noble and Amazon?
I am based in India, so Amazon.in has a low-price Indian edition of Young & Freedman while Felder & Felder is the original US edition which is quite expensive.
I have decided to get all (the seven i have listed in my post above) of John Dirk Walecka's books since low-price editions are available and they seem quite rigorous with enough depth to boot. Pairing it with some other easier text (perhaps Young & Freedman) would cover my bases nicely.
