It will act as a perfect bridge between introductory texts and Jech/Kunen.It focuses on size issues and the basic definitions and theorums of forcing in more detail then just about any other source.It also discusses many of the philosophical issues surrounding set theoretical foundations of mathematics. A great read and sadly,very expensive now. | |

Both are a bit expensive,but both are well worth it for the budding set theorist-especially Kuratowski,which is written by one of the great masters. | |
