An affordable but sturdy student and teacher sewn softcover edition in one volume, with minimal notes and a new index/glossary. Review: A Beautiful Book in a Beautiful Binding - Euclid's Elements is one of the most beautiful books in Western thought. Each proposition falls out of the last in perfect logical progression. One might be worried, since it is a math book. "High school geometry sucked!" I hear you cry. Let us be clear: this is not a math textbook. It is math at its finest. All the basic theorems you learned in that miserable high school class are proven within the first four books. Then come ratios. And numbers. You even get to build an tetrahedron in a sphere. Hate math? Buy this book and realize what math truly is. As for this particular edition, it is a lovely example of a book. The binding is excellent and stands up quite well to the test of time. I've been using my copy extensively for a year and it still looks brand-new. In addition, the diagrams repeat if necessary on different pages. This is appreciated, especially in longer propositions. Definitions are numbered, which is helpful for classroom discussion, and there is a Greek (and English) glossary at the end which is extremely helpful if one needs to know a particular word for a mathematical term or for looking up propositions centered around a certain mathematical object. Overall, a great edition that makes Euclid's Elements even better. Review: I wish I got this printing years ago! - I've got an old, battered copy of volume of the Dover reprint of Heath's translation of The Thirteen Books of The Elements, and I was seriously contemplating buying the second and third volumes. I was delighted when I saw the Green Lion Press edition - all thirteen books in one, easy to read, volume. The publisher states that it is "the classic Heath translation, in a completely new layout with plenty of space and generous margins" - and I agree that the margins are generous (but I'm yet to find a suitable proof to grace their ampleness). Diagrams are thoughtfully reprinted on new pages, so there is never a need to keep flicking backwards and forwards. The text is clean, without the distractions of Heath's comments in all of their academic glory - I want to focus on Euclid, and not the process that has allowed this wonderful work to be handed down through the ages. Recommended if you like thinking about triangles, circles, pentagons, ratios, solid bodies etc... (if the original greek cranks your handle, go for the Dover reprints). ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #42,914 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Geometry #3 in Number Theory (Books) #12 in Mathematics History | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 983 Reviews | ## Images ![Euclid's Elements - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YvDJ3xZ2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Beautiful Book in a Beautiful Binding *by D***A on June 17, 2016* Euclid's Elements is one of the most beautiful books in Western thought.

In programming CNC machines I get a chance to use various types of math in my job, so getting a complete course is a no-brainer. Reading the text from this 1940 translation by Sir Thomas Little Heath is really good. To those who haven't read this translation, this is a wonderful read for a math book. If you have already become familiar with the translation then you already know that descriptions of the geometric propositions can be difficult in the hands of anybody except for the Heath translation. I have read several types of Geometry primers over the years, and they all qualify as the dry math book description. Not this text. This text just jumps off the page and into your hands in a way that makes you want to solve the propositions in a straightforward and step by step manner. Feeling in charge of your use of the technology that Euclid excelled in teaching 2500 years ago is the greatest tribute to a teacher and to the translator that you can experience. ## Frequently Bought Together - Euclid's Elements - My Antonia - The Old Man and the Sea --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/1699096-euclids-elements](https://www.desertcart.in/products/1699096-euclids-elements) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
