Schroeder Thermal Physics intro is useless for self study. There are no answers to the questions. Also he covers far too much material and much of it ends up being superficial. He has a foot in both camps of Stats physics and thermodynamics and leaves the reader very confused (eg the coverage of ideal gases). Also for an intro book there are far too few worked examples. Kittel and Kroemer Introduction to Thermal Physics is a much better option.
