Tilings and Patterns by Branko Grunbaum

Escher's tesselations, wallpaper patterns, Coxeter group, Penrose tiles. What do they have in common. In this remarkable treatise, diagrams and theorems compete for space and enrapture your mind. Some results are new. The classification scheme is cogent.
Infinite tilings? semi-regular tilings? which pieces will not tile? This is a Golomb meets Euclid book.
