Hey guys, I was wondering if there's a good book on the topic of String Theory. Thanks in advance!

well that really depends who you are and what you are looking for.

 

are you a Dr in string theory looking for some light reading or a teenager who's interested in learning?

The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene gives a good non-technical feel for the subject.

I am not a dr. I am fairly new to the String Theory and looking for a book that will give me a good introduction but leave me well informed about the theory. Thanks guys!

If you want to study it seriously, try the recent "A first course in String Theory", The author is B.Zwiebach

Can anyone recommend a technical book on string theory? I mean, with lots of mathematical detail? I have a few (Wess & Bagger, Ramon etc) but have not been very impressed with them.
