In the preface the authors state: "In this book we attempt to provide a fairly comprehensive account of symmetry in a form acceptable to readers without much mathematical knowledge [...] The treatment is geometrical which should appeal to art students and to readers whose mathematical interests are that way inclined." However, Joseph H. Gehringer in a review in The Mathematics Teacher commented "Clearly not intended as a popular treatment of symmetry, the style of the authors is both concise and technical [...] this volume will appeal primarily to those devoting special attention to this field,"
