- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a fascinating book of designs and how to draw them using compass and straightedge. I was one of those schoolboys who tried to draw pentagons and heptagons in his notebook. Wish I had a copy of this one back then! On the downside, the text display on my windows laptop was buggy. I would have liked to zoom in to read the text in a larger font and admire the diagrams. Alas! Zooming in the usual ways just relocated the tiny text, lost the diagrams, or sometimes both. I was forced to read it in 3-point type. Hopefully this is a technical issue that could be fixed.
