Good Concise Coverage of Synthetic Projective Geometry

Coxeter provides good coverage of the fundamental concepts of synthetic projective geometry. This is a good introductory book. The examples provided are clear. Coxeter's style is concise. Topics such as Desargues theorem , Pappus's theorem and conics are covered. The solutions to some exercises can be found in the back of the book. The book addresses finite geometries and analytic projective with a chapter on each.
