Homotopic Topology by Fuchs, Fomenko, and Gutenmacher, mentioned above by Ilya Grigoriev, is a wonderful book which is practically unknown here (english version was done by an obscure eastern european publisher and has been out of print for decades) and hard to get even via an interlibrary loan. It's now availaible in pdf at
