Not for the faint of heart

This book is well written and fantastically organized. There are some topics that appear out of place every once in a while, but this isn't a hindrance nor distracting for the reader. My biggest gruff I have is the density of the material. Weighing in at 215 pages of content with about a fifth of every page utilized for graphics, this book wastes no time getting into the material. That being said, I cannot recommend this book to anyone that hasn't already had a mathematical proofs course, as the book is essentially 168 proofs buffered with a bit of prose.

Book

The book is very helpful in guiding my learning about geometry. I suggest it to anyone trying to have a thorough understanding of the subject. Easy to follow with a lot of good examples.
