This is definitely geared toward review of basic geometry concepts and formulas rather than as an initial textbook or anything at all about proofs, and it's really solid for that. There's nothing on proofs, and I seem to recall when I took geometry in school that there was more going on and that this stuff was mostly covered in algebra and trig, but I also seem to recall being an angry little teenager being taught math haphazardly by the gym coach, so maybe I don't remember that well and maybe I just enjoyed a geometry book I could zip through in a couple days. The pre- and post-lesson tests worked really well for me as guidelines of where I needed to focus and where I could just skim through for possible tips I never learned or terminology I'd forgotten, and I appreciated they were focused on assessing knowledge rather than repeating the same formula over and over for enforced memorization (though I'd expect and desire that in a true textbook).
