A student of mine wants to write their high school thesis on 4-polytopes.

Book recommendations?
I found some old books by Coxeter, but I can hardly read it, not to speak of a high school Student.

My book "Graphs and Networks" blending graph theory and network science has been published. It was a labor of love.
Yes, that is a worm on the cover! It is the C. elegans neuron network.

@subhroneelc I'll look at it. I read The Joy of x, but not this one.
Thanks!
