Reviews
From the reviews: “It consists of a collection of essays by different authors about many different aspects related to polyhedra. … The book is amply illustrated and aiming at a public from 9 till 99. It will be of interest to a very broad public. Form a mathematical side children might be interested in geometrical puzzles and advanced mathematicians may be interested in solving the open problems, and the whole range in between will probably find something interesting of their own taste.” (A. Bultheel, The European Mathematical Society, June, 2013)
