5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, April 17, 2007
By T. Ruen (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I just wanted to counter the previous reviewer. This book isn't intended as something for beginners, and certainly could only be well taught as a graduate level math course. Still if you're able to take in bits at a time, there's lots of beautiful theory and history of higher dimensional polytopes. A book that takes a lifetime to write can take a lifetime to appreciate, and this is such a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great., February 16, 1999
By A Customer
Thi is an excellent text that I recommend to anyone seriously interested in geometry.

The book enumerates all n-dimensional polytopes and aids in visualizing multidimensional space.

The book could be improved with computer graphics of the polytopes, but otherwise it is perfect.
