Keeping with the free theme, Book Of Proof by Richard Hammack is a nice introduction to proofs and formalism. It's available free from the author as a PDF[1], and also as a physical book on Amazon[2].

An alternative if you're willing to spend a little is How to Prove It by Daniel J. Velleman, also available from Amazon[3] and probably many other retailers. Both books cover roughly the same topics.
