1) Paperback Book Geometry (Cliffs Quick Review) by Cliffs Notes. I am involved with tutoring and haven´t looked at geometry for MANY years. I am using Cliff´s for review and to supplement more in-depth material. I am finding it great for bringing back the material.¤

2) Paperback Book Geometry (Cliffs Quick Review) by Cliffs Notes. Overall this isn´t bad for a rapid summmary
but there are some subtle errors which may
undermine the reader´s confidence in the
material (e.g. note altitudes and areas
of the triangles on page 76).

3) Paperback Book Geometry (Cliffs Quick Review) by Cliffs Notes. As a long-time teacher of mathematics at the college level, I am always trolling for additional/better materials to help students learn mathematics. Since I am not a fan of the Cliffs Notes series, I hesitated before purchasing this book in a used book store. However, once I started looking through it, I realized that it is a very good review of basic geometry.
It begins with the fundamental postulates and immediately goes to some basic theorems, although no proofs are offered. The chapters are:

*) Fundamental ideas
*) Parallel lines
*) Triangles
*) Polygons
*) Perimeter and area
*) Similarity
*) Right triangles
*) Circles
*) Geometric solids
*) Coordinate geometry

There are a small number of exercises at the end of each chapter and a summary exam at the end of the book. Solutions to all exercises are included. If you need a fast, complete review of geometry, then this is an excellent selection. However, it has little value if you are trying to learn geometry.
