I am looking for a short topology document,which is roughly 60-80 pages long and touches on metric spaces,open and closed sets,perfect,bounded sets,limit points,compact,perfect and connected sets.

Can anyone please point me to such a resource?I intend to use it primarily as preparation for study of real analysis. Figures and illustrations with proper proofs will be perfect.

My first introduction to topology came through Willard's General Topology. It's a little more in depth than what you've asked for, but you can always just skim the relevant sections. It's a fantastic, highly readable account. In addition, Rudin's PoMA section on topology covers the bare essentials of what you're looking for in the context of real analysis.

Mendelson's Introduction to Topology is concise and serves well as preparation for a Real Analysis course. It's also very cheap. I highly recommend it.

Topology, by Munkres. Just read the relevant sections.

One of the most well-written math books IMO.

I like Marsden's "Elementary classical analysis". The first 80 or so pages cover much of what you mentioned. Lots of exercises, focus on understanding.

I like the metric spaces section in Kolmogorov & Fomin's "Introductory Real Analysis".
