"This is a delightful little paperback which presents a day-by-day transcription of a course taught jointly by P?lya and Tarjan at Stanford University...One can count on [P?lya and Tarjan] for new insights and a fresh outlook. Both instructors taught by presenting a succession of examples rather than by presenting a body of theory...[The book] is very well suited as supplementary material for any introductory class on combinatorics; as such, it is very highly recommended. Finally, for all of us who like the topic and delight in observing skilled professionals at work, this book is entertaining and, yes, instructive, reading." --Mathematical Reviews (Review of the original hardcover edition) ? "The mathematical community welcomes this book as a final contribution to honour the teacher G. P?lya." --Zentralblatt MATH (Review of the original hardcover edition)
