From the reviews:SIAM REVIEW"The narrative and proofs are well written, and the authors are given to frequent uses of humor. Students should find this book as easy to read as any other good-quality text written with them in mind. Each of the three chapters concludes with several paragraphs describing an excellent selection of more advanced texts or papers to consider for further study"From the reviews of the second edition: 'œAny undergraduate work in combinatorics or graph theory, whether a course or independent study, would likely be well served by this textbook '¦ . The authors offer a wide selection of topics, often in more depth than other undergraduate texts, in an engaging and clear style. '¦ Each chapter concludes with extensive notes on further reading.'� (Brian Hopkins, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 b) 'œCombinatorics and Graph Theory is a popular pair of topics to choose for an undergraduate course. '¦ The book is written in a reader-friendly style and there are enough exercises. '¦ It is certainly good that someone took the effort to write '¦ in a form that is appropriate for undergraduates.

Synopsis
There are certain rules that one must abide by in order to create a successful sequel. -- Randy Meeks, from the trailer to Scream 2 While we may not follow the precise rules that Mr. Meeks had in mind for s- cessful sequels, we have made a number of changes to the text in this second edition. In the new edition, we continue to introduce new topics with concrete - amples, we provide complete proofs of almost every result, and we preserve the book'sfriendlystyle andlivelypresentation, interspersingthetextwith occasional jokes and quotations. The rst two chapters, on graph theory and combinatorics, remain largely independent, and may be covered in either order. Chapter 3, on in nite combinatorics and graphs, may also be studied independently, although many readers will want to investigate trees, matchings, and Ramsey theory for nite sets before exploring these topics for in nite sets in the third chapter. Like the rst edition, this text is aimed at upper-division undergraduate students in mathematics, though others will nd much of interest as well. It assumes only familiarity with basic proof techniques, and some experience with matrices and in nite series. The second edition offersmany additionaltopics for use in the classroom or for independentstudy. Chapter 1 includesa new sectioncoveringdistance andrelated notions in graphs, following an expanded introductory section. This new section also introduces the adjacency matrix of a graph, and describes its connection to important features of the graph., The second edition of this text on combinatorics and graph theory includes new material on an array topics ranging from Eulerian trails to combinatorial geometry to the pigeonhole principle. There are also numerous new exercises throughout the book., There are certain rules that one must abide by in order to create a successful sequel. -- Randy Meeks, from the trailer to Scream 2 While we may not follow the precise rules that Mr. Meeks had in mind for s- cessful sequels, we have made a number of changes to the text in this second edition.
