This is not an official IPhO reading list.

Of course, it is also recommended that you read books on other disciplines.

Collections of IPhO problems with solutions:

• International Physics Olympiads.
  Waldemar Gorzkowski (ed.)
  World Scientific, 1990. [See this book at Amazon.com]
• Proceedings of the XX International Physics Olympiad, Warsaw, 16-24 July, 1989.
  Waldemar Gorzkowski (ed.)
  World Scientific, 1990. [See this book at Amazon.com]
• International Physics Olympiads: Problems and Solutions from 1967 - 1995.
  Chaleo Manilerd (ed.)
  Rangsit: Rangsit University Press, 1996. ISBN 974-530-037-3.

  You can order the book from Dr. Chaleo Manilerd, Science Faculty, Rangsit University, Pathumthani 12000, Thailand (manilerd@rangsit.rsu.ac.th) for US$ 25 + US$ 10 (airmail postage).

A collection of physics problems for fun:

• The Flying Circus of Physics, With Answers.
  Jearl D. Walker.
  John Wiley & Sons, 1977. [See this book at Amazon.com]

The bible of undergraduate physics still is:

• The Feynman Lectures on Physics.
  Richard P. Feynman, Robert B. Leighton, and Matthew L. Sands.
  [See this book at Amazon.com]

  • Volume III: Quantum Mechanics, 1965 [See this book at Amazon.com] Addison-Wesley.

Another `must' by Feynman:

• The Character of Physical Law.
  Richard P. Feynman.
  The MIT Press, 1965. [See this book at Amazon.com]

`The funniest book about physics ever written' (and very much worth reading):

• The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question?.
  Leon Lederman (with Dick Teresi).
  Houghton Mifflin, 1993. [See this book at Amazon.com]

Everyday phenomena analysed physically:

• Light and Color in the Outdoors.
  Marcel Minnaert.
  Springer, 1993. [See this book at Amazon.com]
  Older (and cheaper) edition:
  The Nature of Light and Color in the Open Air.
  Dover, 1948. [See this book at Amazon.com]
  

  Translated from the Dutch original:
  De natuurkunde van 't vrije veld. Zutphen, NL: Thieme.

  • Deel 1: Licht en kleur in het landschap, 5e druk, 1974
  • Deel 2: Geluid - warmte - electriciteit, 3e druk, 1970
  • Deel 3: Rust en beweging, 3e druk, 1971

Physics concepts placed in a popular context:

• Sympathetic Vibrations: Reflections on Physics as a Way of Life.
  K.C. Cole.
  Bantam Books, 1985.

The authoritative data book, which can be found in every self-respecting physics and chemistry laboratory is:

• CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 81st Edition.
  David R. Lide (editor-in-chief) and H.P.R. Frederikse (assoc.ed.)
  CRC Press, 2000. [See this book at Amazon.com]

Also available on CD-ROM. There also exist student editions of this book. Older editions of the CRC Handbook are also still very useful.
