Thanks for your interest in my book, A Walk Through Combinatorics! I am honored as the book has been used, or being used at the following Universities. Please let me know if the list is incomplete.

The second edition of the book has now been published. However, the first edition will remain available as long as supplies last. You can buy either edition from the publisher, or from  Amazon.com. Note that Amazon has all three version, namely the first edition in paperback (42 dollars), the first edition in hardcover (70 dollars), and the 2nd edition in hardcover (88 dollars). Make sure you select the one you want (click "All editions" once you found the book).

View the cover page, that contains a painting by Joseph J. Sciacca. Then, if you would like, take the quiz about the cover page!

Note that the first edition had two different printings. As the first printing sold out in Fall of 2003, a second printing was run, in which all the typos I knew of at that point were corrected. To see if you have the new printing of the book, look at page xii. If I say thanks to people who found typos in the first printing, then that book is from the second printing.

Here is the Errata for the first printing. Here is the Errata for the second printing.
