Abstract: A book Bn is a graph which consists of n triangles sharing a common edge. In this paper, we study Ramsey numbers of quadrilateral versus books. Previous results give the exact value of r(C4,Bn) for 1lenle14. We aim to show the exact value of r(C4,Bn) for infinitely many n. To achieve this, we first prove that r(C4,B(m1)2+(t2))lem2+t for mge4 and 0leqtleqm1. This improves upon a result by Faudree, Rousseau and Sheehan (1978) which states that �egin{align*} r(C_4,B_n)le g(g(n)), ;; ext{where};;g(n)=n+lfloorsqrt{n-1} floor+2. end{align*} Combining the new upper bound and constructions of C4-free graphs, we are able to determine the exact value of r(C4,Bn) for infinitely many n. As a special case, we show r(C4,Bq2q2)=q2+q1 for all prime power qge4.
