It is available online, and is very well-equipped with thorough explanations, examples, exercises & funny illustrations, I would say best of university lecture style: <a href="http://katmat.math.uni-bremen.de/acc/" target="_blank">http://katmat.math.uni-bremen.de/acc/</a>. (Actually, the name of the book is a joke on the set theorists' book «Joy of Set», which again is a joke on «Joy of Sex», which I once found in my parents' bookshelf... ;-))<br>
