Hi! I am currently planning to get a book on Real Analysis for self studying before diving into my 4th year real analysis course. The standard textbook for my 4th year course is Stein's Measure, but I do not like much about abstract measure introduced near the end. Perhaps because I am currently taking 3rd year real analysis course in the level of Pugh with some other additional materials.

Anyway, I am considering one of the followings: Folland - Real Analysis Bruckner, Bruckner, Thomson - Real Analysis Yeh - Real Analysis Kantorovitz - Introduction to Modern Analysis (and maybe Cohn - Measure Theory)

(Note: Royden is omitted because I am waiting for 2nd printing and waiting so that I can get it cheap from some website (like abebooks), so 12 pages of erratas are all fixed)

Which book do you think is most suitable for self-study?

I would not describe the question as related to research. stackexchange, on the other hand, is your friend. – Igor Rivin Mar 27 2012 at 1:30

@chhan92: There is really no distinction between 3rd year real analysis or 4th year undergraduate level real analysis. I learned from Stein's book when I was in high school. It only requires calculus and linear algebra, and maybe fourier analysis covered in his first book. Also you should not be picky in books, it would be difficult to write produce a good one even if you know the material. – Changwei Zhou Mar 27 2012 at 3:02
