I see that abebooks < http://www.abebooks.com/ > list several used copies of "Mathematical Models" by Cundy & Rollett from about $8.00. This has always been my 'must have' sourcebook for all such things from tetrahedra to Möbius Strips and Klein Bottles. As a student it inspired my first harmonograph machine. It's worth looking just to experience abebooks' worldwide secondhand books database although sometimes the results can be a little odd, The database located a book on 'Theodolites' for me in a s/h bookshop that specialised in 'Theological' works!! Perhaps they thought it would come in handy for someone intending to "....survey the wondrous cross." Ouch! Tony Moss -
