- The following two books are quite comprehensive in their treatment of geometry.
- In addition, their bibliographies are also quite good.
-
- "Introduction To Geometry" (2nd Ed.) by H. S. M. Coxeter
-
- "Geometry I" by Marcel Berger
- There is a second volume to this - presumably called "Geometry II". These
- are available in both French & English editions.
