From a review: MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS "The book is well written and nice to read. It contains a wealth of concrete examples, many exercises, some research problems and a generally quite thorough discussion of the available literature. I can recommend it to anybody interested in discrete mathematics, in particular designs and codes, or in design of experiements."
