…(CRC 3rd ed.; free 2nd ed. pdf[1]) Lovasz - Combinatorial Problems and Exercises (AMS Chelsea) The classic probability book is Feller (2 vol), but it's absurdly priced. There's also Sidney Resnick's Probability Path and Adventures in Stochastic Processes. Grinstead & Snell - Introduction to Probability Theory is free[2], and there's also Chung's A Course in Probability Theory (Academic Press/Elsevier). Dover publishes…

Thanks The Amazon UK reviews of Chung's book lead me to A Probability Path by Sidney Resnick which appears to be aimed at non-mathematicians. I have invested (speaking as a renegade physicist lacking a systematic exploration of measure theory).

…theory, I'd read Kolmogorov and Fomin's book. Rudin also has a measure theory book, which is much better than his analysis book, but it's hefty. Good problems though. For a book on Probability, we read A Probability Path at my university. I wasn't fond of it. Someone referred me to Probability with Martingales, and though I didn't read it, it looked very good.
