Review :
`For the Second Edition: "... it is a wonderful book. Biggs' expository style is of the highest quality." ' Professor James Reid, University of Mississippi `"... a well written book by a world-renowned expert. The explanations go to the heart of the matter and the proofs given are elegant." ' Professor Mohan Shrikhande, University of Michigan `" the material is well written in a clear and lucid style" ' Dr Jim Renshaw, University of Southampton `"the new chapters are elegantly written" ' Dr Peter Robinson, University of Cambridge `from recent reviews of the first edition: "Biggs' book ... a timely and important addition to the literature ... stands out for its clarity of exposition, its careful organization, and for the way in which it reduces unnecessary abstraction to a minimum ... The range of topics covered is astonishing ... and ... it is written with humour and a lightness of touch which make it a pleasure to read." ' Times Higher Education Supplemement `"It seems to me that the book is as comprehensive as one could hope. I strongly recommend it" ' Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society `"the comprehensive course of discrete mathematics" ' L'Enseignement Mathematique, t.36, fasc.1-2, 1990
