Graph Theory Textbooks: Bondy, Murty, Diestel, Trudeau

[mak52810]

Hi All,

I am contemplating which graph theory text to purchase. I am stuck between

a) Graph Theory by Bondy and Murty

B) Graph Theory by Richard Diestel

I have already been through Trudeau's intro text on my own and am looking for something deeper and more advanced. I am comfortable with proofs etc.

Please give your input as to the strengths and weaknesses of both these texts. Please also suggest any other textbooks at the same level that i should consider.

Ps. I know textbook preference is quite subjective but I still want your input.

I am also considering Graphs and Digraphs by Chartrand et al. Please give any input related to that.
