I would be grateful if members of this list could give me their recommendations for introductory books on category theory. In particular, what is your opinion of "Conceptual Mathematics: A First Introduction to Categories" by Lawvere and Schanuel?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned is Bob Walters' "Categories and Computer Science" (Cambridge University Press). It's a useful little book, unbeatable value, with a wealth of interesting and unusual examples from computer science. Steve Vickers.
