The Holy Grail of Graph Theory August 16, 2005
J. P. Baugh (Dearborn, MI)

This is, for all purposes, the Holy Grail of Graph Theory. It is older, but still very much applicable. As a computer scientist (instructor and Masters degree student), I highly recommend this for students studying Discrete Mathematics and Graph Theory.
It has several examples throughout and the presentation is excellent. Many books on mathematics from this 'era' tend to be overly wordy and full of poorly explained examples and topics. This book suffers very little from this problem.
I recommend this to anyone looking for a good introductory book on Graph Theory. It also makes an excellent reference book for even the experienced individual.
Excellent! November 5, 1997

This is a very well written introduction, suitable for undergraduates or ambitious high school students. As an added bonus, it explains how to read and write proofs, so it develops mathematical sophistication instead of assuming it. The only shortcoming is that it is too brief and only mentions group theory in passing at the end.
Fantastic Book! September 5, 2001

Most books assume that the reader has a month to carefully read the book. In reality, the reader often has a day or two and needs a solid understanding of the material but not a really detailed understanding. This book is great because it quickly and clearly covers all of the necessary concepts. What else can you ask for?
Student's perspective March 19, 2000

This was the text used in my undergraduate introduction toGraph Theory. It is quite good, and cheap! It is the perfect text toget the flavor of the subject and spark interest in students to learn more. For a Prof. looking for an idea for a summer course, or an oppertunity to teach to non-math majors who need an upper level course, this is perfect. END
Topics in Graph Theory July 17, 2008

This book is great for a course in topics in graph theory. It gives some theory followed by applications. It requires some mathematical maturity since some of the exercises require proofs. I would recommend this book for junior and senior undergraduates, and perhaps some graduate students who need graph theory.
