A Course in Set Theory by Ernest Schimmerling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is an excellent, self-contained outline suitable for a one-semester introductory course. Backed up by lecture, I can see this succeeding very well. I am more concerned for the independent reader looking for a self-paced introduction and even having suitable mathematical background. The exercises have no solutions, but there are strategic hints and they tie so well to the relevant text that I see no problem there. Rather, I would have two small improvements. First a more thorough, lengthy index and secondly the foundational ZFC should be numbered definitions as an aid to when they are referred to later in the text.
