Number of pages circa 2021: 155.

It should also be noted that those notes are still being updated circa 2020 much after original publication. But without Git to track the LaTeX, it is hard to be sure how much. We'll get there one day, one day.

Likely used at: David Tong's 2009 Quantum Field Theory lectures at the Perimeter Institute.

Some quotes self describing the work:

an Introduction To Quantum Field Theory by Peskin and Schroeder (1995)
This is a very clear and comprehensive book, covering everything in this course at the right level. To a large extent, our course will follow the first section of this book.
Perhaps for this reason Ciro Santilli was not able to get as much as he'd out of those notes either. This is not to say that the notes are bad, just not what Ciro needed, much like P&S:
- the missing link between basic and advanced
- doing physics means calculating a number
In this course we will not discuss path integral methods, and focus instead on canonical quantization.

A follow up course in the University of Cambridge seems to be the "Advanced QFT course" (AQFT, Quantum field theory II) by David Skinner: www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/dbs26/AQFT.html
