Of all the course books I have this is by far the most read. With regards to the books you mention, I am unfamiliar with them, but reading through the content of Gross & Yellen this seems to be an amazing resource, with contributions from some top authors. I must check this out. Personally I have ended up going down the route of looking into Bollobas' books for graph theory, and Stanley for combinatorics... Another book which certainly follows on well from HH&M is Wilf's Generatingfuntionology. | |

It is simply one of the most readable and perfectly structured introductions to any subject I've EVER seen. After reading this book and absorbing it's contents,the student will be more then prepared to move on to more advanced texts on the subject like Gross and Yellen's GRAPH THEORY WITH APPLICATIONS (the bible of the subject,in my opinion) and Bona's texts on combinatorics. | |
