I have the opportunity to get a Springer book for free, provided that it is cheaper than 200$. I am considering an introductory one about Solid State Physics, but I have never heard about a valid one from Springer (I know about Kittel, Ashcroft and Simon only). Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you very much!

Just search via Springer Link:

https://rd.springer.com/

There are of course very many books about condensed-matter/solid-state physics from this publisher.

Well, I'm not so familiar with condensed-matter physics and the literature. My favorite is Altland's textbook but that's not published by Springer.

It’s made it to second edition which is a good sign. Notice that you can download the front matter.

Edit: After searching I also found
Patterson and Bailey

Ibach and Luth
https://rd.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-540-93804-0

Madelung
https://rd.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-61885-7

This one seems like a companion book.
Huebener
