Product Description
The third edition of this standard textbook of modern graph theory has been carefully revised, updated, and substantially extended. Covering all its major recent developments it can be used both as a reliable textbook for an introductory course and as a graduate text: on each topic it covers all the basic material in full detail, and adds one or two deeper results (again with detailed proofs) to illustrate the more advanced methods of that field. From the reviews of the first two editions (1997, 2000): "This outstanding book cannot be substituted with any other book on the present textbook market. It has every chance of becoming the standard textbook for graph theory." Acta Scientiarum Mathematiciarum "The book has received a very enthusiastic reception, which it amply deserves. A masterly elucidation of modern graph theory." Bulletin of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications "A highlight of the book is what is by far the best account in print of the Seymour-Robertson theory of graph minors." Mathematika ". . . like listening to someone explain mathematics." Bulletin of the AMS

For the mathematically mature September 11, 2009
M. Henri De Feraudy (France)
This is an excellent book, but if you are looking for an introductory book with examples you should look elsewhere, like the book by Gary Chartrand:
Introductory Graph Theory.
The definitions are very concise and not always visual, so you might have to take a pencil and paper as you go through this book and try to
draw a picture corresponding to what has been written.
Still, there is a lot of material here, thanks to the concision, and for a graduate student it's hard to think of a better introduction.

If you want a look at the contents, the author also offers a full, free electronic edition of this book from his website. Seach for "Graph Theory Diestel" and his pages will come up. You are not able to print the free electronic edition, but you can save it for offline reading.
I love this book. I purchased the print version after reading the electronic edition.
Great book April 19, 2009

I bought this book because my Graph Theory teacher recommended us to read it. It is very complete and it explains very well the subject.
 Somewhat technical but well written November 6, 2006

Not a book that you can really judge well on one reading:
study is necessary.
The author presents the diagrams and proofs well.
He covers the main topics in graph theory:
"Matching,"
"Connectivity,"
"Planar Graphs,"
"Coloring,"
"Flows
"Ramsey Theory for Graphs,"
"Hamilton Cycles,"
"Random Graphs,"
"Minors, Trees and Well-Quasi-Ordering."
and Infinite graphs.
It is a text for graduate school topology in which the theory of graphs
is covered in detail.
I could wish for more on Ramsey theory,
but the author's are the only graph diagrams in that area that I've found.
