Kleinberg and Tardos book: http://www.cs.sjtu.edu.cn/~jiangli/teaching/CS222/files/mate... But that book is not an easy read either and will be hard to digest for someone not comfortable with reading mathematical proofs. It comes with the territory.

Perhaps you only covered the first part of the book? Chapter 8 and beyond are definitely about theory.

That's true. Good point. Also I really like this book. It's just not really what I think of when I think of theory.
