This is a book which can be recommended to both beginners and more experienced workers with an interest in Coxeter groups. In common with all of Humphrey's books, it is written in a clear and helpful expository style, and so gives an excellent introduction to the subject. At the same time the material dealing with recent developments such as Kazhdan-Lusztig theory will be most useful to specialists in the area. Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society ...a useful book. The style is informal and the arguments are clear. Louis Solomon, Mathematical Reviews
