If you're taking a first course in graph theory, this is where you should start. There is more than enough material here for 3 semesters, and, should you finish it all, you will certainly know more than the average grad student.
Introduction to Graph Theory by Trudeau is another that I really liked. Very little was applicable to graphs as programmers think of them. Pure math that is easy to grasp and enjoy.
A nice book and I appreciate it's funny introduction as a book designed for liberal arts majors injured by the pedagogy of institutional mathematics (paraphrasing).
If you have a grasp of algebra and sets this book is an easy read for the curious or mathematically immature.
