A great little text...

This is a great little text with numerous illustrations but with a lot of errors. If you have taken geometry in the past or else are singularly hardheaded you will not be thrown by some of these mistakes that appear even in the self test sections. It is a great review, but remember to trust your own mind while studying the material.
