I was wondering if someone could recommend a Percolation textbook for undergraduates. I have looked at Percolation by Grimmett and it seems quite dense. I was looking for a book that I could self-study from with a decent amount of explanation. As far as background, I have taken a graduate course in measure theory and the undergraduate analysis sequence. Thanks.

From what I remember, Bollobas and Riordan book is much more accessible than Grimmett. Hopefully it will suit your needs (or those of the MSE readers who arrived here).

I think for your background, the notes of Hugo Duminil-Copin would be great. They are just 30 pages long but it is a decent amount of exposition and it has many exercises that can help you develop by yourself. Some proofs are a bit short, but I think they use a nice amount of intuition for those who are starting in the area.
