‘Sacred Geometry’ and ‘Sacred Number’ – two titles in the Wooden Books series, both by Miranda Lundy – offer a great introduction to this subject for those who’ve heard of but never really understand these terms. And if you have always felt alienated by things numerical as a result of negative experiences with mathematics during your school years, I can guarantee that after reading either – and preferably both – of these two books, you will have a new respect for numbers and an appetite for more. And really, what more can you ask of an introductory book?

If you are unfamiliar with this series of books, there are many other titles on related topics, all written by experts in their field. All the Wooden Books are beautifully presented with lots of diagrams and other illustrations; and they’re printed on good quality, quite thick, off-white paper which – although this is a paperback – gives the book an old-fashioned look and feel. I’ve bought some half dozen different titles in the series and have been delighted with all of them. I’ve also bought some of these books as Christmas presents.
