[Math] Good undergrad level graph theory book

book-recommendationgraph theoryreference-requestsoft-question

I'm looking for a good undergraduate level graph theory book. I tried to read Bondy and Murty's, but I struggled with the first part about isomorphisms (I think, because I haven't gone through a Topology course yet). So, before reading those more difficult books, I want one that is easier to get acquainted with the subject but that is not a dumbed-down-graphs-for-dummies type of text.

Any suggestions?

Many years ago, I started with Douglas West's Introduction to Graph Theory and found it to clearly cover the basics.

Graduate-level study would definitely warrant a different style of a text, perhaps Diestel's Graph Theory would be good for that.
