Which is the best proofwriting book for analysis?

[Levi Tate]

Hello, I am going to be taking analysis and to ease the pain a little bit I wanted to do a treatment of proof writing here for the next month. I am not sure which book to order. If any of you people who are more knowledgeable on the subject than me could let me know of a good book and an area of focus, it would be a big help to me, thank you

Back in September of Last year, I started studying this book to get me started on proofs
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1420069551/?tag=pfamazon01-20

I certainly wouldn't say its the best book of its kind, but it did help me tremendously. It covers basic logic, set theory, relations, functions, and it goes into the cardinality of sets as well. The last two chapters are on basic analysis and algebra. I think it's perfect for self study.

Here is a free book (online pdf):

And the website of the author:

I'm about halfway through Chartrand's book (first edition). I've found it to be great and it was less than $10 on abebooks. Here's a link to the second edition:

The above recommendation, Book of Proof, is nice as well from what I read of it. You can buy it new as a physical book for about $10 as well.
