This is not a primary textbook, but if you have ever had geometry, you can use is as a primary textbook. If you are the type of person who learns by example, this book is for you.

Compact, inexpensive and easy to use – this book
has it all and it’s been field tested successfully
on a number of occasions. It covers everything in
two dimensions and even has a chapter on solid geometry.
The format is particularly attractive making it possible
to open the book to any page and dive right in. The
statement of each problem is highlighted and every section
clearly labeled which makes navigating the book trouble free.
In addition, the authors often give two proofs for a problem -
the first an informal presentation giving the motivation and
plan of attack – to be followed by the formal two column proof.
A student can read most of this alone and could read it cover
to cover with the help of any competent tutor.

I like the book and the author is very knowledgeable, but I thought it was too formal a presentation for my students who are struggling. There is another book called tutor in a book that offered more support but I don’t know who sells it.

After taking Algebra and buying a title on it from the same author my son really wanted this book to help him with Geometry.
The teacher who helped him in Algebra really liked these books and recommended them as well.

If you want to learn more about high school geometry, do not buy this book. It has a bad layout and will definitely confuse you more than helping you understand geometry. This book is a nightmare which will intimidate you from even looking at geometry again. The rating on this book is really a “0″ but I had to put a “1 star” because it did not go lower than this rating. Please do not waste your time buying this book.
