Jan 6, 2018 at 21:58 comment added Jim Humphreys In the case of a quantum group arising from the rank 1 simple Lie algebra, a classic paper by Reshetikhin and Turaev may already be familiar to you: mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=1091619

Oct 6, 2017 at 11:25 comment added Jim Humphreys Probably you'd get more insight from Chapters 2 and 5 of Jantzen's 1996 AMS text Lectures on Quantum Groups, even though the notation gets heavy as in Lusztig's book. Jantzen does attempt to provide more of a textbook approach, though it isn't easy in this subject.

Oct 6, 2017 at 7:12 comment added asv @JimHumphreys: Lusztig's book looks to me quite technical. If one could show a specific place with relevant examples, that would be helpful.
Oct 6, 2017 at 0:34 comment added Jim Humphreys Have you looked into the papers (and possibly the book) by Lusztig? Keep in mind that there are two very different possibilities: 1) the parameter often called $q$ or $v$ may be an arbitrary complex number not a root of unity (or even an indeterminate), or 2) it may be a root of unity. The latter case is least well understood, and often resembles the theory in prime characteristic. The former case is closer to classical representation theory. Anyway, Lusztig (and Andersen et al.) do give some examples. Jantzen's AMS book is very useful.
