Hopcroft's book is a very good introduction to the theory of computing, from finite automata to undecidability.
He introduces the text with a crash course in proofs, which is useful for a text of this nature.
The material can at times seem a bit outdated since the computing world has changed by several orders of magnitude since their original work, but it still provides a solid foundation in the philosophy and mathematics of computing.

 New lower bounds for Hopcroft's problem
We obtain slightly higher bounds for the counting version of Hopcroft's problem in four or more dimensions.
As a related result, using a straightforward adversary argument, we derive a quadratic lower bound on the complexity of Hopcroft's problem in a surprisingly powerful decision tree model of computation.
Update (26 Sep 2000): Braß and Knauer, using recent work of Bárány, Harcos, Pach, and Tardos, recently discovered a set of n points and m hyperplanes, where at most d hyperplanes pass through any point, with a large number of point-hyperplane incidences.
