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: Learning Is Fun - Buy this version... 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #60,522 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Geometry #3 in Number Theory (Books) #18 in Mathematics History | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (980) | | Dimensions | 7.12 x 1.35 x 10.07 inches | | Edition | Later Printing | | ISBN-10 | 1888009195 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1888009194 | | Item Weight | 2.1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 529 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2002 | | Publisher | Green Lion Press | ## 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.

Heath's translation is the most authoritative translation of Euclid's Elements in English. The extensive research he put into translating the work the way he did can be found in The Thirteen Books of Euclid's Elements, Books 1 and 2 , which I would recommend to anyone who wants to further investigate Euclid, and his influences. As far as this copy is concerned, it's amazing. I got the hardcover copy, and a friend got the softcover. They are both sufficient for studying - huge margins, large pages, and diagrams on every page (so you are not constantly flipping back and forth between pages). This book was not designed for portability, so don't be surprised by its size - it's about the size of a regular math textbook. If anyone intends to thoroughly study The Elements, this is the copy I would recommend. ## 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.at/products/1699096-euclids-elements](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1699096-euclids-elements) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
