About this title: In most mathematics departments at major universities one of the three or four basic first-year graduate courses is in the subject of algebraic topology. This introductory textbook in algebraic topology is suitable for use in a course or for self-study, featuring broad coverage of the subject and a readable exposition, with many examples and exercises. The four main chapters present the basic material of the subject: fundamental group and covering spaces, homology and cohomology, higher homotopy groups, and homotopy theory generally.

"The book corrections and additions are available free on the internet, as are stuff from forthcoming 2nd and 3rd volumes.
There are several good books on this now, since 1974. I can't choose which is the one and only, perhaps only 100 years will tell, but this one is definitely a contender."
"This book contains a classic exposition of classic parts of algebraic topology. Contains a lot of material if we take into account that there are two more volumes by the same author in preparation. Suffers from not using standard toolkit of modern mathematics (i.e., categories, sheaves etc.)."
"The best thing about this book is that its free on the internet! Hatcher's book is a good introduction to algebraic topology. Its full of examples and tons of extra material beyond the basics, which can actually make it difficult to find what you need. This book is NOT concise: if you have a lot of time on your hands and don't mind learning things that you probably won't ever use, this is a good book. But it can be hard to find what you need, and often the original examples that he gives aren't worth the effort, relative to how much they actually illuminate the material. I haven't tried many of the exercises."
