Suggestions for Graduate-Level Combinatorics/Graph Theory Texts

Click For Summary
For those seeking a rigorous graduate-level text in combinatorics and graph theory suitable for self-study, "Enumerative Combinatorics" (vol. 1 & 2) by Richard Stanley is highly recommended, though it is noted to be quite challenging. Alternatively, "Combinatorial Mathematics" by Van Lint and Wilson may be a better fit, depending on the specific course material and individual learning preferences.

But, its not for the faint of heart.
 
Maybe van lint's and wilson's book will suit you better, well it depends on the material covered in the course.

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
