Jun 13, 2014 at 12:18 comment added Sylvain JULIEN Try Olivier Bordellès' Arithmetic tales, Springer. If you read French, Tenenbaum's "Introduction à la théorie analytique et probabiliste des nombres" and Colmez' second edition of "Eléments d'analyse et d'algèbre (et de théorie des nombres)" are worth buying.

Apr 17, 2014 at 9:18 comment added user9072 One more technical question: which languages would be (most) relevant?
Apr 17, 2014 at 8:06 comment added duje This is list of number theory books that can be found in libraries and offices at my department (Zagreb, Croatia): web.math.pmf.unizg.hr/~duje/literatura.html

Apr 17, 2014 at 4:35 comment added Henry Zorrilla "An Introduction to Number theory" - By hardy and wright
Apr 17, 2014 at 4:06 comment added Michael Zieve I also suggest Serre's "A Course in Arithmetic", Ireland-Rosen, Cassels' "Local Fields" (which is great fun), Serre's "Local Fields", Washington's "Cyclotomic Fields", Serre's "Lectures on Mordell-Weil" and "Topics in Galois Theory", Samuel's "Algebraic Theory of Numbers", Lemmermeyer's "Reciprocity Laws", Koblitz's "p-adic numbers, p-adic analysis and zeta functions", Bombieri-Gubler, Cassels-Frohlich, Silverman's various books, etc.
Apr 17, 2014 at 3:58 comment added Michael Zieve Dickson's "History" is indeed great, it basically includes all of number theory that was known at that time, and it is well-organized and readable. It's a fantastic reference for elementary number theory. It is also extremely inexpensive (published by AMS/Chelsea).
Apr 17, 2014 at 0:42 comment added Mustafa Said Ayoub's "Introduction to the Analytic Theory of Numbers," is one of my favorites. The only caveat is that the book is extremely hard to find and its fairly expensive.
Apr 17, 2014 at 0:16 comment added P Vanchinathan I have heard that L.E. Dickson's century-old work History of the Theory of Numbers in three volumes is a great work. According to Wikepedia this totals to 1600+ pages.
Apr 16, 2014 at 18:31 comment added few_reps Disquisitiones Arithmeticae !
Apr 16, 2014 at 18:03 comment added Włodzimierz Holsztyński There is a plethora of wonderful books on number theory. But then, you're a number theoretist... :-)

Apr 16, 2014 at 16:36 comment added user9072 How much money?
Apr 16, 2014 at 15:48 comment added Lucia Obviously this is very subjective, but I consider Selberg's Collected Works as one of the best ways I've spent money. Serre's Works are pretty good too!
