- You may find the following item helpful.
-
- "On The Foundations Of Combinatorial Theory: Combinatorial Geometry" by
- Gian-Carlo Rota & Henry H. Crapo
-
- This is somewhat old (circa 1972) and lacks an index but between the it and its
- references you may find what you are looking for.
-
- If this isn't enough there is a book on combinatorics by Graver & Watkins that
- might be able to point you in the right direction. It is less geometric but it
- is up-to-date and it has an index. Unfortunately, I am unable to remember the
- exact title or the first names of the authors.
