His book Einführung in die mathematische Logik, joint work with Jörg Flum and Wolfgang Thomas, first appeared in 1978 and became a standard textbook of mathematical logic in the German-speaking area. It is currently in its sixth edition (ISBN 9783662580288). An English edition of Mathematical Logic was published in the Springer-Verlag Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics series in 1984 (ISBN 0387908951), with a second edition in 1994 (ISBN 0-387-94258-0) and a third edition in 2021 (ISBN 978-3030738389).
