Bulletin of The London Mathematical Society "I am enormously impressed...Will be the definitive reference on tiling theory for many decades. Not only does the book bring together older results that have not been brought together before, but it contains a wealth of new material...I know of no comparable book." Martin Gardner

A wonderful example of how a whole branch of study is constructed from the ground up. Who would think there was so much fruitful math from just the concept of fitting tiles together?
