Principles of Algebraic Geometry: 52 (Wiley Classics Library) Paperback – 20 September 1994

Good.

Studio geometria algebrica

This is still one of the best references available for complex geometers (either for novices or specialists)As many others pointed out already, it has several typos and innacuracies sprinkled throughout the text (from harmless symbol omissions to wrong definitions or proofs). However, this text is still unmatched in its scope and breadth (perhaps Demailly's notes can be considered a worthy successor/companion stressing the analytic point of view)All in all, this venerable text has stood the test of time and surely will remain a mandatory read for the upcoming generations of complex geometers.If you are a differential geometer or an abstract algebraic geometer you might have heard of this book already; don't fear it, it has a lot of beautiful mathematics. Read it, you won't regret it , just be sure to read it alongside some of the other great contemporary texts (e.g. Huybrechts, Voisin, Demailly, Lesfari, etc.)

I'm just starting to read this book, but everything I've read is very interesting. Griffiths and Harris contrasts with many of the modern abstract approaches to algebraic geometry (i.e. Hartshorne) in how concrete and hands on it is. There are coordinates and formulas and integrals. These are the types of proofs that make sense to me, and the theorems are beautiful.It's not just a reference book; I find a good introduction to complex algebraic geometry. But it's not for the faint of heart. I've spent a lot of time with Huybrecht's Complex Geometry which covers a lot of the material in chapter 0. I think these books complement each other well.A caveat is that the printing is poor, and the words are blurry. Wiley needs to step up its game!

On m’a supprimé mon commentaire, qui n’etait pas agressif mais relevait de mon expérience avec ce vendeur, Juste la vérité....qui n’est pas appréciée hélas !Pourtant le futur acheteur doit être informé..!Donc ne rien dire qui dérange....

the quality of the product is really degrading for the price of 90 pounds. Wiley need to learn from Springer to use better paper or the book won't last for 3 years
