The Hauptvermutung Book: A Collection of Papers on the Topology of Manifoldsby A.A. Ranicki, et al, - Springer
The Hauptvermutung is the conjecture that any two triangulations of a polyhedron are combinatorially equivalent. This conjecture was formulated at the turn of the century, and until its resolution was a central problem of topology.

Algebraic L-theory and Topological Manifoldsby A. A. Ranicki - Cambridge University Press
Assuming no previous acquaintance with surgery theory and justifying all the algebraic concepts used by their relevance to topology, Dr Ranicki explains the applications of quadratic forms to the classification of topological manifolds.

Geometric Topology: Localization, Periodicity and Galois Symmetryby Dennis Sullivan - Springer
In 1970, Sullivan circulated this set of notes introducing localization and completion of topological spaces to homotopy theory, and other important concepts. The notes remain worth reading for the fresh picture they provide for geometric topology.
