    Book
In summary, the conversation is about a person inquiring about a book for learning proofs and asking for a recommendation or alternative. Another person suggests checking for the book at a nearby public library and offers to help with specific questions, and the original person asks for a book solely focused on high school proofs.

You might search http://www.worldcat.org for the title and tell it your zip code to see if a public library reasonably near to you might have a copy that you could look at. More public libraries have copies than I would expect.

A library near me has a copy, but it is checked out and won't be back for two weeks. If you had a few clear specific questions I could put a hold on it and when it shows up I could try to answer your questions. Leave a reply if you want me to do that.

Thanks, I certainly will, but first have you taken geometry in high school (probably:smile:). Do you any books that teach directly on high school proofs and nothing else? (such as two column proofs, etc.)
