Dry and outdated, but cheap - By: CodE-E, 27 Apr 2004
This book offers a lot of content for a low price. That's the good thingabout it.
The bad thing is that it's difficult to read - it's very dry & boring.Of course, pretty much everythingin mathematics is dry & boring, but Iknow lots of math books which teach far more efficiently than this one. Itgives too many examples & often doesn't go straight to the point, & itdidn't make it clear why the hell one would want to learn about grouptheory.
Also, the some notation usedin this book is outdated, which is slightlyannoying at times as it just adds to the confusion of a confusing subject.

Great book for an introduction to graph theory. - By: , 11 Jun 2001
This book has all the information to get you through any graph theory course. The theory is explained well but the most helpfull is the hundreds of examples. There are a few examples on every topicin the book that are simple enough for anyone to read.
