Title: Good introduction to combinatorics!
Review: Every discipline has key introductory texts that motivate the subject, whet the appetite for more, and guide a novice to see the forest despite the trees. 'Combinatorics' by Peter Cameron is one such gem! Combinatorics has a reputation for being a collection of disparate clever ad hoc arguments. The author has carefully presented binding principles such as double counting, the pigeon-hole principle, generating functions, enumeration via group actions, sets of distinct representatives,...see the book for more, that makes coherent combinatorics as a discourse, despite its diverse application.
