Format:Hardcover
I bought this book because the blurb said "This book is largely self-contained and can be used for self-study...". Not exactly, ok there are end of chapter exercises but where are the answers? If I knew enough to check them myself I would not need the book!
The book also suggests use for "high-level undergraduate and low-level graduate courses" this is very true, don't kid yourself you'll understand it unless you have or are in the final year of a first technical degree.
Also note that the algorithms are in pseudo-code so if you want quick results you'll not find them here. I like this idea, however, as it makes you concentrate on the general ideas rather than any particular programming languages'implementation of them.
The book is well organised and has good diagrams to help you understand the concepts but is more suited for students as a degree course book than for self-study.
If the answers were available on the book's web-site I would have given it 5 stars.

I use this book quite often as a reference. Having read and studied most topics in
this book I must say it cover the basics that will give you the understanding of
how to develop geometric algorithms for other problems.
I am a CS graduate student, and therefore have the basic knowledge of
algorithms and complexity analysis, and such -- I don't know if you
will enjoy the book without this knowledge, but why buy a book on
computational geometry, if these topics are out of your interest area?

This book covers several aspects of Computational Geometry. It's easy to understand all the concepts, and the pseudo-code implementations of most of the algorithms are really useful. Also it relates each subject to a given general purpose problem, making the reading more interesting and worthy.
