Now released in a special low-priced edition, this comprehensive treatment of the theory of combinatorial designs will be welcomed by all mathematicians working in combinatorics. The reader is expected to be familiar with basic algebra, but other than that, the work is self-contained, so is well-suited for advanced courses or as a reference: exercises are included throughout. The book ends with a comprehensive and thorough bibliography of over 500 items.
