Searching for a Rigorous Geometry Book

[zalook]

Hello, I am searching for a geometry book, a rigorous one. I have taken a look at Moise's and Downs's book but it looked too short, I want something more advanced but keeping the focus on elemtary issues at the same time.

Thanks.

What kind of geometry?

You can have Euclidean, Differential, Projective...

Here are two books that look "more advanced", although you may not want such mathematical books.

Well, the kind of geometry showed in the book I mentioned: Euclidian mainly. By the way, have you used those books? Could you tell me your experience with them?.

Thanks.

Try Euclid's Elements, from the green lion press, augmented by Hartshorne: Geometry, Euclid and beyond. I cannot think of a better source. I used those last time I taught it and I learned a lot, even after a 30 year career as a professional mathematician.

I am not familiar with the book you mention, if you could explain what you want the book for it would be easier to help. There has been a lot of development since Euclid, so for many purposes I would advise a book that includes a more modern approach.
