I used Rosen's book in an undergraduate discrete structures class I took many years ago and I enjoyed it. The exposition and exercise sets are decent. I particularly enjoyed the historical and biographical notes that are placed throughout the text. Rosen also has a decent elementary number theory textbook that might be an nice accompaniment to his discrete math book.

I used Rosen's book in an undergraduate discrete math course back in 1995 or so. I remember not caring for it particularly at the time. I wound up having to retake discrete after transferring to a different school (I passed the class, but too much time had elapsed, or something, hence the retake) and we used the Susanna Epp book in the other class. I much prefer the Epp book. To me it's more clearly written and easier to follow. Take that FWIW.

Yeah, I've heard people say that Epp's book is better. (Though I don't own a copy of it!)

Hi, Please recommend a basic book in Logic to begin with Many Thanks

I'll second @AmateurLogician suggestion for "First Course in Mathematical Logic." Despite the intimidating title, it actually baby steps you through the material. It's also not very expensive to buy the book either. I also highly suggest you watch his video series on this book. He not only goes over some of the exercises, but also has helpful hints. For example, being an older book, Suppes and Hill sometimes uses terms or conventions that aren't used by modern books. @AmateurLogician videos point out when that occurs and elaborates on how the topic is presented in most modern texts.
