'The book is well written, and there is a welcome breadth in the choice
of topics. I think this book is a valuable resource. Students who
meticulously work through all the problems in the book in an intelligent
way, will surely gain considerable insight into the subject; teachers
who donâ (TM)t tell their students about it will find it a valuable
source for exam questions.'The Mathematical GazetteThe book offers a
good introduction to topology through solved exercises. It is mainly
intended for undergraduate students. Most exercises are given with
detailed solutions.In the second edition, some significant changes have
been made, other than the additional exercises. There are also
additional proofs (as exercises) of many results in the old section
'What You Need To Know', which has been improved and renamed in the new
edition as 'Essential Background'. Indeed, it has been considerably
beefed up as it now includes more remarks and results for readers'
convenience. The interesting sections 'True or False' and 'Tests' have
remained as they were, apart from a very few changes.
