In summary, the conversation discussed recommendations for good geometry books for self-study. The conversation suggested looking for books published by Holt or Holt McDougal, specifically "Holt McDougal Geometry" by Burger or "Jurgensen, Brown, and Jurgensen" by McDougal Littell. Another option suggested was an old book with exercises that could be relevant for self-study.

Any high school Geometry book should be fine. Look for Holt Geometry (the publisher is Holt), or look for a book with the main author of Jurgensen listed with others.

I think Holt merged with McDougal Littell, so now it's Holt McDougal. The book title is now "Holt McDougal Geometry" and the main author is Burger.

Ah, that would be Jurgensen, Brown, and Jurgensen. This book is published by McDougal Littell, I mean Holt McDougal. They go together with the Algebra: Structure & Method books by Dolciani. We use the Geometry book at my school (though I myself never taught from it, as I am currently not teaching Geometry).

Here is an old book with a bunch of exercises. It is from before the time of computers so relies a little too much on constructing solutions but some of the exercises should be relevant. You could read through them and choose the ones you would like to solve, ones that match whatever you are learning in Mastering Geometry.

I suggest this because finding good exercises is difficult.

(Or just get another geometry book, one with exercises...)
