Editorial Reviews

Review

`Review from previous edition 'This book is an amazing work of art by two authors who must be devoted to beauty and symmetry to a degree far beyond most graph theorists. Here are almost 400 pages of diagrams of graphs such as trees, regular graphs, self-complementary graphs, planar graphs, snarks, signed graphs, digraphs, tournaments etc. etc. etc... Within a few days of its arrival, I used my copy several times ... (It) doesn't go on the shelf. It has a front row seat on the real desk top. On behalf of all who love graoh theory, I salute the authors for their remarkable acheivement...'' E.M. Palmer, Zentralblatt Math 908/99 35 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
