Introduction to Superconductivity

by Michael Tinkham

Accessible to graduate students and experimental physicists, this volume emphasizes physical arguments and minimizes theoretical formalism. Topics include  the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer and Ginzburg-Landau theories, magnetic properties of classic type II superconductors, the Josephson effect, fluctuation effects in classic superconductors, high-temperature superconductors, and nonequilibrium superconductivity. 109 figures. 1996 edition.

I think the book really follows a down-to-earth approach to superconductivity. While many sections are really short and require much of the readers input, it still provides a good exercise to understanding the fundamentals.

Everyone with research intetest in the low temperature physics must read it!!! However, some research topics like the nonlinearities are much more better covered in Nonlinearities in Microwave Superconductivity book by Dimitri O. Ledenyov and Viktor O. Ledenyov!!!
