Overview
Combinatory logic is a versatile field that is connected to philosophical, mathematical, and computational logic. This comprehensive reference on combinatory logic covers results in the field from the last four decades along with classical information on the topic. The author makes combinatory logic simple to understand while providing working knowledge that is rigorous, current, and readable. Reader-friendly without compromising the precision of exposition, the book includes many new research results not found in the available literature. It also contains pointers to new directions in the field that can be pursued further by researchers.

Reviews
For beginners, it is a compact introduction, including exercises, to the classical syntactic theory of combinators with some pointers to their models and their relation with λ-calculus. More advanced readers may find in the book much information on the connections between combinators and non-classical and substructural logics that are now a prominent topic in several areas, from philosophical logic to theoretical computer science, information that is mostly scattered through the research literature.-MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS, 2012One of the commendable aspects of the book is its extensive and up-to-date bibliography, which deals with CL and other relevant topics in logic; it will surely aid many readers who may need to brush up on background information in the course of their study.-Computing Reviews, 2012
