Superb guide
This is an excellent guide to symbolic geometry which is a subject veiled in mystery. The subject certainly explores the mysteries of numbers and their relevance in our lives but it is completely accessible to the lay person who wants to learn about geometry and its significance. Highly recommended. My only gripe is that I wish the publisher had given this book its due by using a quality binding.

Disappointed with the quality of this book
I bought this book on a recommendation from a family member for my 15yr old son. Really wished I'd saved the money. The quality of the materials used to make this book is absolutely shocking for the price. It feels and looks like a very cheap bargain store colouring book. The cover makes the book look bright and colourful and inviting but once you open the book the pages all seem to run into each other and it just doesn't stimulate the mind as first thought it might. Ir just seems rather jumbled. Definitely isn't worth the money. The price needs to be dropped dramatically or quality of the materials needs to be better

Interesting slightly alternative read
I never knew nature and mathematics were so intricately intertwined. This book will convince me of a guiding hand in creation, or a mathematical order such as one created by a computer..
