I am looking for a book particularly for olympiad combinatorics which only assumes high school level knowledge. Please drop me some suggestions.

1Does this answer your question? Good resources (book or otherwise) to learn/study basic Combinatorics – Jul 03 '23 at 05:28

Thanks for the comments I find Pablo the best option for me right now. Thanks again! – Kayotik Jul 03 '23 at 09:54

Check out the AoPS store. There are many books available there. I do not know what kind of book you are specifically looking for, but I'd recommend Intermediate Counting & Probability.

3While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. - From Review – julio_es_sui_glace Jul 02 '23 at 17:46

1@julio_es_sui_glace This comment "From Review" and its upvotes are strange. It is not a link-only answer, and it already follows the format you suggest. The essential part of the answer is the recommendation of the book 102 Combinatorial Problems by Titu Andreescu and Zuming Feng, and the link is provided for reference. – James Martin Jul 02 '23 at 19:26

1@JamesMartin Unfortunately this seems to be a common response across stack exchange to a new user, regardless of the answer's quality. A few times I've posted perfectly fine answers only for someone to say otherwise, and I wonder if they even read it (if anything my first reaction would be to wonder if the PDF is "really" free, but other than that I don't see what's wrong with this answer). – Thierry Jul 03 '23 at 02:02

@Thierry this link to the book is a top result on google when you look up the book – MattyC Jul 03 '23 at 02:09

Thanks a lot, after seeing the level of problems, I am truly overwhelmed. I think it would be suitable for me to use this book after doing the book by Pablo, as this one has only problems. – Kayotik Jul 03 '23 at 09:56
