Mar 14, 2014 at 18:27 comment added Andy Putman A lesser known source is Fomenko-Matveev's book "Algorithmic and computer methods for three-manifolds". Despite its title, it has nothing to do with computers, but instead is a very nice basic course on 3-manifold topology. The pictures in it are really wonderful.
Mar 14, 2014 at 16:40 comment added Ryan Budney Hatcher's 3-manifolds notes would also be good, although they assume you're fairly well grounded in basic manifold theory, in either the smooth or PL categories. There's also Jaco's CBMS "Lectures on 3-manifold topology".

Mar 14, 2014 at 10:34 comment added Mark Grant Rolfsen's "Knots and Links" is a classic, with lots of nice pictures and geometric intuition. It covers all the topics you mention, other than Haken manifolds.
