Doesn't the book have any bibliography at the end?

However, I would recommend any Dover publications books, or Springer texts on Mathematics. Those two usually publish the very best scientific and mathematical texts and have myself bought a few of their books. Dover books are not expensive.

Rosen's Discrete Mathematics and it's Applications is pretty much the standard uni text.

Expensive and not a single preview available. Not even the TOC. I have no clue why I would give them 140 dollars.

Hmmm. I Just found it in my own library. Must of got it at that book sale this year for one buck.

I love the Dover books but none on set theory.

I already had three of those on order and will buy the rest. This is exactly what i was looking for. Wonder why my amazon search sucked so bad?

There is also a book in Springer's problem series devoted to set theory.
For the most part, you would probably need to be specializing in the subject to be able to use the book as intended, working out solutions yourself, but one can also simply read the solutions given.
