Introduction to Algebraic and Abelian Functions
 

Has anyone else read this book? (Just got it for Christmas) Nice one Serge! :)
Seriously tho' - I wonder if Amazon would give me my money back...

It's not entirely clear what you mean.

Any book which starts with the Riemann-Roch theorem is intended for people who have already followed a first course in Algebraic Geometry at graduate level.
I find Serge Lang's books useful occasionally for reference, but his style doesn't suit me when I am learning something new.

And I would advise anyone ordering books from Amazon instead of their local bookstore to read the following press article:
