3.		Regular Polytopes from Dover Publications Price: $11.53 Customer Review: This book is a classic in the field and written by the man who revitalised the entire field of geometry. It is not intended as a step-by-step guide to making polyhedral models. But if you want a grasp on polytopes in n-dimensional space, this is the book for you. The cover and figures would... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		Non-Euclidean Geometry (Mathematical Association of America Textbooks) from The Mathematical Association of America Price: $39.15 Customer Review: Originally published in 1942, this book has lost none of its power in the last half century. It is a commentary on the recent demise of geometry in many curricula that 33 years elapsed between the publication of the fifth and sixth editions.
