Geometry Book for Beginners: Learn from Ground Up

[Eratosthenes]

What is a good geometry book for someone who knows very little to nothing about geometry. I know nothing about geometry because I never finished high school:( . What is a good book that starts from the ground up covering the very basics and goes to a reasonably advanced level? I'm looking for something that is easy to read since this is for self study. Should I just pick up any cheap book on ebay that explains high school geometry or is there some particular good book out there that is worth reading?

coxeter wrote an intro to geometry book which is probably pretty good. then there's of course "geometry revisited" by coxeter & greitzer, "college geometry" by nathan altshiller-court, & "advanced euclidean geometry" by roger johnson
