Topology Book Recommendation

Question

I am looking to take a graduate course in topology in a couple semesters, and I was wondering if there exists a book which gives a general overview of topology in the same way that Saunders Maclane's "Algebra 3rd ed" gives you a general overview of Algebra.

By this I mean covers the important topics, and has exercises that are not extremely difficult, but are more designed to increase your understanding of the concepts discussed.

Thanks

I would say I gave more specific criteria rather than "best book to study from" — AnotherPerson, Oct 04 '15 at 00:04
Yes, but the answers in that thread gave book names and explanations for their choices and I believe you have there the information you needed. Anyway, this is just my opinion — Belgi, Oct 04 '15 at 00:06

Topology by J. Munkres is widely used out there. You can also have a look at this thread for more recommendations.
