Does anyone know about any good (advanced) geometry book?

In summary, the conversation is about the search for a good synthetic geometry book with both theory and exercises. The book "College Geometry" was recommended but turned out to be disappointing as it mainly focuses on constructing triangles. The speaker is looking for a book with more challenging exercises and asks for recommendations. The book "Geometry" by Serge Lang is suggested as well as another book that was used for high school math contests.

Hi, recently I've tried to find a good sintetic geometry book with both theory and exercises. Many people said well about this one

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0486458059/?tag=pfamazon01-20

College Geometry. I've bought it and I've got so disappointed. I want a book that has exercises for you to probe/demonstrate, find angles, sides... This one only tells you to construct a triangle given 3 things (and I'm not kidding, 90% of the book is to construct a triangle)

I don't want a book like this (if you know what I mean), I want a book with real exercises/probes


Do anyone know a book where I can find this?
