Awesome book!
This is one of the best books out there that deals with problem solving. It has a wide range of topics including combinatorics, number theory, geometry, and much more! The most important feature is that it presents you with valuable problem solving strategies and tactics, and has hundreds of imaginative problems to help hone your skill. It's good preparation for the Math Olympiad and the Putnam because it has past problems in these contests. But I have to tell you that except the examples, the problem sets have no full solutions. But if you can do most of the problems you would have a good feel to whether a solution is reasonable, besides, no solution prompts you to think harder rather thanbe tempted by the solutions. All in all, this is a great introductory book to higher problem solving, very readable.
