- Here are some other books they publish:
-
- "Spaces of Constant Curvature", Wolf, 5th ed.
- "Knots & Links", Rolfsen, new corr. print.
- "User's Guide to Spectral Sequences", McCleary
- "Submanifolds & Isometric Immersions", Dajczer et al.
-
-
- BTW, there are single-authored maths. text around of similar size;
- Darboux' "Theorie Generale des Surfaces" in 4 vols. comes to mind
- (over 2200 pages...)
