I am currently doing a self study on algebraic geometry but my ultimate goal is to study more on elliptic curves. Which are the most recommended textbooks I can use to study? I need something not so technical for a junior graduate student but at the same time I would wish to get a book with authority on elliptic curves. Thanks



What are the recommended books for an introductory study of elliptic curves?
[Silverman and Tate](http://books.google.com/books?id=mAJei2-JcE4C) to start, then [Silverman](http://books.google.com/books?id=6y_SmPc9fh4C), and finally [Silverman again](http://books.google.com/books?id=dnZ0Vdo-7BsC). These are basically canonical references for the subject.
