From the reviews:
The book under review constitutes a self-contained introduction to the use of combinatorial methods in commutative algebra. ... Concrete calculations and examples are used to introduce and develop concepts. Numerous exercises provide the opportunity to work through the material and end of chapter notes comment on the history and development of the subject. The authors have provided us with a useful reference and an effective text book. (R. J. Shank, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1090 (16), 2006)
