Textbook
Michael Sipser,
Introduction to the Theory of Computation.
Either the first or second editions will work. Although the numbering of almost everything in the two editions is different, the content is mostly unchanged except that the second edition contains some corrections and new and solved problems.
(Second edition errata: all printings. First edition errata:
first printing ,
second printing and beyond.)
There is also an international edition but the numbering of
problems in that edition is different from the other two so you should not rely on it for homework.
