 The undergraduate standard December 1, 2008
Telemaque (Florida, USA)
This is the one you are most likely to use as an undergrad in physics. It's been called "verbose", but I appreciate that many steps are explicitly spelled out in this book. I have used Wangsness, also good, for a review before grad school, but Griffiths is the best.
Excellent Book! November 13, 2008
Christina D. Cowman
I'm a chemistry and physics student. This electricity and magnetism book is absolutely fantastic. Griffiths explains all the concepts completely and clearly. The proofs and examples and problems are all presented in ways that are easy for beginners to understand. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in electricity and magnetism. If all science textbook authors wrote like Griffiths, physics would be a cake walk.
You need this book to understand the fundamentals of Electrodynamics October 2, 2008
Nikolaos Vasiloglou (Georgia Tech)
I used the greek translation for my undergrad electrodynamics. I would agree with some reviewers that it might not be too mathematically advanced. But you need to read it to understand the fundamentals. It gives a very clear and crisp view of the fundamental theory of electromagnetism. If you want to go beyond that and use more advanced mathematics try Electricity and Magnetism (Berkeley Physics Course - Volume 2) which is an amazing book. I think with these two you are unbeatable.
A road map to Electricity and Magnetism September 19, 2008
M. Kerns (The region)
This book was a part of my favorite physics course ever, Electricity and Magnetism. The excersises are of great value to anyone taking entrance exams or the GRE subject test. Explanations may take a few tries to grasp fully but if you do the proper math reviews and take the time to become intimate with the material you will be rewarded with a superior understanding of the subject.

I didn't really learn vector calculus until this book came along. It does in a few paragraphs that takes a whole section in a calc book to do and makes more sense.
