comprehensive

This text consists purely of exercises and solutions. This seems like a difficult way to learn combinatorics (or any mathematics for that matter) but it is surprisingly effective. Lovasz starts off with simple problems that anyone can solve and quickly moves to more advanced problems. Lovasz's text covers more material than any other introductory combinatorics text I've seen.For a more traditional (expository) introduction, consider Brualdi's Introductory Combinatorics.

Superb exposition of combinatorics via problems

This problem book will take the reader from a novice to an expert in the emerging area of discrete mathematics.
