Dwight W. Read in Antiquity : " Symmetries of Culture is an impressive book - both in terms of its physical appearance and its content. [...] will undoubtedly become the major reference on the analysis of patterns in terms of symmetry properties." Jon Muller writing in American Antiquity : "... a fine book that achieves its goals in a straight-forward and clear fashion. It presents a set of methods that can be applied consistently and usefully in looking at symmetrical plane designs." and Roger Neich in Man : "... wide use of this book will certainly contribute to a great improvement in the systematic study of material culture."
