[Math] Books recommendation for combinatorics – From beginner to research

combinatoricsgraph theory

Particularly I am interested in combinatorics, graph theory and algebra . In fact , my university did offer a lot of algebra courses so I am not worry about that . BUT my university seldom offer combinatorics and graph theory courses ( the only one was just discrete mathematics ) . I love combinatorics and graph theory and would like to do research in it .

My question is , is there a recommended book list for combinatorics and graph theory from beginner level until be able to do research . It would be helpful for others who like combinatorics and graph theory too . If possible , a list by difficulty from beginner , intermediate , advanced and research level is recommended .

Good Book On Combinatorics

What are good books to learn graph theory?

Only thing I would add is that Vol. 2 of Stanley's Enumerative Combinatorics is also a great read. Particularly enjoyed that section on Catalan numbers.
