"This book ... is a nice addition to the literature. ... for instructors teaching geometry courses in which these are a topic, this book should provide an excellent source of interesting examples and problems. The large number of solved problems should also make useful reading for people preparing for mathematical contests and Olympiads." (Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews, October 4, 2022)
