Best books to learn Combinatorics, in order
Combinatorics looks like clever tricks until you see the machinery, and the order is what turns tricks into technique. A good path starts with counting fundamentals, permutations, combinations, and the inclusion-exclusion principle, then builds to generating functions and recurrences as unifying tools, and reaches enumerative and extremal results once the basic vocabulary is automatic.
