Reviewed jointly with "A Beginner's Guide to Graph Theory" by W.D. Wallis published by Birkhauser:
"...both...are...quite similar.... Merris writes in a lively tone...all...have adequate sets of exercises. Those in Graph Theory are somewhat more generous, and perhaps more challenging...both are appropriate for upper-division undergraduates." (Choice, May 2001, Vol. 38 No. 9)
Compared to Graphs and Applications by Aldous and Wilson (Springer-Verlag 2000) and A Beginner's Guide to Graph Theory by Wallis (Birkhauser 2000): "...M [Merris] has a...sophisticated chapter on graphic sequences...some very nice material...which sets it apart from the other two books...all three books are well written.... I am especially impressed with the exercises in M. Not only are there more in M than in the other two books...but there is an excellent range of levels of the problems..." (SIAM Review, Vol. 43, No. 3)
"...a mathematically rigorous introduction and designed as a versatile instruction tool..." (Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, Vol. LIX, No. 2, June 2001)
"The author's intent to write a lean and lively invitation to graph theory designed to attract and engage students, is well met..." (Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 963, 2001/13)
