Ask HN: Graph theory books?

You should try 'Algorithms in C++ Part 5: Graph Algorithms (3rd Edition)' i had lots of fun with that one :).
note: fun == countless nights solving problems :P
note2: link to the book http://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Part-Graph-3rd-Pt-5/dp/0201...

Seconded; another great source is Skiena, Algorithm Design Manual.
These are good books for graph based algorithms, which may well be what you're looking for. But for a more proof based approach you could take a look at this:

There is a book "Graph Theory" by Reinhard Diestel. There used to be an online version as a pdf, but it seems to be gone now. The Archive has it:

(the pdf is almost 3 Mb).
boost graph library (books are available for this topic)
Does anyone know of a great book to self study graph theory? I studied it in school a while ago, but now i realized that graph theory is very important to algorithms.
Thanks a lot for any suggestions!
