Textbook.

Analytic combinatorics is a branch of mathematics that aims to enable precise quantitative predictions of the properties of large combinatorial structures, by connecting via generating functions formal descriptions of combinatorial structures with methods from complex and asymptotic analysis. The textbook Analytic Combinatorics by Philippe Flajolet and Robert Sedgewick is the definitive treatment of the topic. The full text of the book is available for download here and you can purchase a hardcopy at Amazon or Cambridge University Press.
