This is my current favorite bathroom literature (my copy of Weisstein's Encyclopedia of mathematics is tucked away somewhere in my ex-gf's cellar) The info density of this book is just incredible!

Awesome textbook. This book is meant to be "read" with pencil and paper in hand. The presentation clearly comes from an author who just loves to "count", and is an expert at it.
