An excellent and entirely self-contained introduction to the basis of quantum spin chains. It is a short and clear account and in my opinion is the best place to start. There are some minor typos (very few) but shouldn't come on your way and can easily be spotted. I would have hoped to see some discussions of entanglement. Nevertheless for those who like to be able to access the literature on spin chains and get to that point fast, it is a wonderful read.
