Review
"Clear, comprehensive, and deep! The authors' treatment is both contemporary and probing, covering all aspects of modern microeconomic theory at a level accessible to graduate students, and which goes beyond simple statement of results to underscore the underlying intuition. This text should be a standard for graduate study in microeconomics!"--Lars Stole, University of Chicago
"An excellent, comprehensive text."--Michael Jerison, SUNY at Albany
"Broader and deeper than any graduate microeconomics textbook I know."--Rajeev Dehejia, Harvard
"Outstanding! The choice of topics, coverage, and degree of sophistication is perfect for a first-year graduate theory sequence."--Glenn MacDonald, W.E. Simm Graduate School of Business
"Extremely helpful as a teaching aid in a first year graduate theory course. It covers a great deal of material, motivating the material with informal discussion yet presenting it compactly and rigorously, with illuminating diagrams and formal examples. There is also a wealth of interesting homework problems."--Truman F. Bewley, Yale University
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Hardcover
Easily the best micro-text available on the market. The authors have done a great job in explaining the concepts. Following the rigorous mathematical derivations is the economic intuition behind the results. All the assumptions underlying the results are clearly stated. They prove many of their claims. They cover a topic fairly completely unlike Varian who seem to be in hurry to finish off as soon as he has started. Unlike Kreps they don't waste time and space chatting with the reader. Most importantly, investing time and effort solving the exercises gives one great confidence and ability to read research papers in professional journals.

Format:Paperback
I did so, considering Varian's Microeconomic Analysis and Kreps' A Course In Microeconomic Theory as alternatives. The level (and coverage) of math is the same, but if you're looking for some economic meaning beyond this it's the only place where you can find it. The other two give you no chance.
You should keep in mind that the target audience of this book is first year GRADUATE courses, and this is very clearly stated by the authors, but as an undergrad I found it a lot more readable than the other two. Although, if you want an introductory text, it's not the best address.
I used to think that courses taught at famous universities can't be a lot better than courses taught elsewhere. But with this book I could make the difference.

Format:Hardcover
This is an excellent book written at a level which should be understandable to the average first year graduate student in economics. Nearly all important introductory topics in microeconomics are covered (to some degree).
