Hello,. I am looking for another problem book for GR. I have used Problem Book In Relativity and Gravitation by Alan P. Lightman, et al.

But first the copy I get is not in a good quality. Some texts are vague. Also, it seems too difficult for me. I only can solve about half of the problems in every chapter. Oh, my poor hair. Compared to them, problems in QFT are so delightful.

Therefore, I am looking for another problem book publichsed recently and not too difficult.

Thanks!

Dont take it too serious... Your hair is more important than any exercise 🤪 there's a book by tai peng on cosmology and GR with solutions to some of its exercises in it. Also the book by schutz has students' solution manual.

Thanks! But I could not google the book by tai peng. I am not sure whether you mean Tai-Peng Tsai or others?
