Collection of Geometry Problems: Planimetry and Stereometry
by B. N. Delone, O. K. Zhitomirsky & A. I. Fetisov
Translated by Valery Manokhin, PhD
85 problems with full solutions, from three mathematicians who wrote for students who wanted to be stretched. Construction, loci, congruence, similarity, areas and geometry in space — with each solution showing how to analyse a construction, carry it out, prove it correct and establish when it exists. Includes the Simson line, homothety, regular polyhedra, and the common part of a cube and a rotated copy of itself. 75 figures.

This book matches no modern course. It is worth reading for the mathematics; it will not put a mark on an exam paper.
