Text book: Algebraic Topology by Allen Hatcher. This book is available for free download from Hatcher's web page, http://www.math.cornell.edu/~hatcher/AT/ATpage.html. The book store (and Amazon, etc.) should have bound copies for sale, too. Whether you have a bound or downloaded copy, check Hatcher's web page for a list of corrections.
