Weissbluth Mitchel. Atoms and Molecules

Academic Press, New York 1978. — 713 p. — ISBN: 0-12-744450-5This text is one of the most comprehensive, complete and well-written single reference on atomic and molecular theory.
Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the book is that it presents an integrated account of angular momentum and other methods of atomic physics that is readable without "swamping" the reader with details and obscure notation. It also presents an excellent bridge between undergraduate quantum theory and relativistic quantum physics. Furthermore, it is an outstanding introduction for those wishing to do serious computational atomic or molecular physics. It does not "dumb down" the physics or mathematics for computational experts and provides a good grounding for those going on to specialize in the area.
