Over 140 examples, preceded by a succinct exposition of general topology and basic terminology. Each example treated as a whole. Over 25 Venn diagrams and charts summarize properties of the examples, while discussions of general methods of construction and change give readers insight into constructing counterexamples. Includes problems and exercises, correlated with examples. Bibliography. 1978 edition.

Introduction to Topology: Second Edition by Theodore W. Gamelin, Robert Everist Greene This text explains nontrivial applications of metric space topology to analysis. Covers metric space, point-set topology, and algebraic topology. Includes exercises, selected answers, and 51 illustrations. 1983 edition.
Topology by John G. Hocking, Gail S. Young Superb one-year course in classical topology. Topological spaces and functions, point-set topology, much more. Examples and problems. Bibliography. Index.
A Combinatorial Introduction to Topology by Michael Henle Excellent text covers vector fields, plane homology and the Jordan Curve Theorem, surfaces, homology of complexes, more. Problems and exercises. Some knowledge of differential equations and multivariate calculus required.Bibliography. 1979 edition.
Cohomology Operations and Applications in Homotopy Theory by Robert E. Mosher, Martin C. Tangora This treatment explores the single most important variety of cohomology operations, the Steenrod squares. It constructs these operations, proves their major properties, and provides numerous applications. 1968 edition.
Point Set Topology by Steven A. Gaal Suitable for a complete course in topology, this text also functions as a self-contained treatment for independent study. Additional enrichment materials make it equally valuable as a reference. 1964 edition.
Introduction to Knot Theory by Richard H. Crowell, Ralph H. Fox Appropriate for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this text by two renowned mathematicians was hailed by the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society as "a very welcome addition to the mathematical literature." 1963 edition.
