Summary: An interesting book
Comment: There's nothing like reading the original. Here is the abstract theory of transfinite ordinals described by its originator, Georg Cantor.

It's probably not the best introduction to set theory for a beginner. The book focuses more on ordinal numbers than on cardinals or general sets. It's not a great reference, either, since so many important results in set theory have been proven in the 100 years since Cantor. But I like this book a lot nonetheless. The exposition is beautiful -- concise, clear, and logical. It's one of the most nicely presented math books I've read.
