Review: Invaluable aid - A truly excellent piece of work that filled so many gaps in my knowledge. Such a handy size to cart about and dip into as well. I use if for reference constantly at the moment as i'm doing some work that demands the use of a ruler and compass. Bought 'Quadrivium' too which comes from the same stable. Review: The author does an amazing job, using a shorthand - What a delightful find. The author does an amazing job, using a shorthand, to demonstrate the steps to be taken in an actual construction of a particular shape. I find it fascinating to make the constructions in my head rather than borrowing a ruler and pencil.I'm much too lazy to do that. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 59,534 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3,104 in Scientific, Technical & Medical | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 661 Reviews | ## Images ![Ruler and Compass: Practical Geometric Constructions - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bQT-9CeKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Invaluable aid *by C***N on 30 May 2015* A truly excellent piece of work that filled so many gaps in my knowledge.
