I wonder why people in US are not familiar with this book. This book is great, full of examples. It is translated to my language "Farsi" and almost all the students In Iran are using it as their best reference book. I like it so much. I have the Farsi one but i just purchased the English version to prepare myself in English.

Most people don't know this book exists, and I wish I had known about it when I was an undergraduate, but at least I have it in my library now! I originally tracked down a used copy of this out of print book because the author (Nayfeh) happened to be the professor of the electrodynamics class I took in grad school. Copies of this book can be difficult to find, but are well worth the effort. The book is a treasure trove of solved elecrodynamics problems. It has 300 worked examples, and half of the problems have answers to them in the back of the book. The book also covers some subjects that are neglected in Griffiths, such as magnetic scalar potential (something Griffiths makes no use of, but can be a real life saver), and magnetic circuits. All in all I'd say that this book is slightly more rigorous than Griffiths, but nowhere near the level of the infamous Jackson's textbook. Out of all the textbooks I've bought over the years this one was by far one of the best purchases I've made. It was worth every dollar I paid for it. Nayfeh told us that he and his coauthor were working on a new edition, I wish they hurry up and get it to the printing press.
