Classical Galois Theory: With Examples

by Lisl Gaal

This book is strongly recommended to beginning graduate students who already have some background in abstract algebra, including elementary properties of groups, rings, and fields. The exposition and proofs are intended to present Galois theory as simply as possible. The large number of partially or fully solved examples is a special feature of the book.

What a novel idea for a college level mathematics text. It's essentially a math workbook from your second grade class except its teaching you Galois Theory with its fill in the blank style. I definitely would not pursue this as a stand alone text, but it makes a great supplement. You can get it on the cheap from the AMS at the moment which is always a plus.
