Feb 2, 2010 at 12:08 comment added Pete L. Clark The Bourbaki books (some more than others; CA is still widely read nowadays) are certainly excellent references for basic material, the more so if you have internet access to a savant who can quote them chapter and verse. The problem (for me) comes when I try to read them in the usual linear manner: they cover the trivial and the important in equal detail, and the end product is about five times as long as it should be.
Feb 2, 2010 at 11:54 comment added Harry Gindi Bourbaki (and Clark) to the rescue. What a surprise. An acquaintance of mine was visiting Paris, and apparently they cite Bourbaki there up to the theorem number in lectures there. And of course, "Soit C un corps commutatif."
