The First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid (1847)
Byrne’s book is lovely and wonderful, I highly recommend the modern reprint: http://amzn.com/3836544717But it only covers the first part of Euclid’s Elements, and even in the first 6 books the original text and drawings can also be helpful. I recommend this Green Lion Press edition to anyone looking to study from Euclid – http://amzn.com/1888009187 – which is an amazingly well printed and constructed book, an incredible bargain for the price.
