This volume has been reprinted as a `special issue' of the journal Discrete Mathematics 95


This volume consists of invited surveys of various fields of infinite graph theory and combinatorics, as well as a few research articles. It aims to give some indication of the variety of problems and methods found in this area, but also to help identify what may be seen as its typical features, placing it somewhere between finite graph theory on the one hand and logic and set theory on the other.

Since the volume is no longer easily available it is offered here for downloading (both all-in-one and as individual papers), in printable pdf format. Unfortunately, Elsevier deleted the original files, so the pdf files below had to be scanned from a copy of the book. File sizes vary between 500K and about 1MB. Before printing the files, you must set your Acrobat Reader's printing magnification to 40%.
