>>  More easily acquired is H.S.M.  Coxeter's Regular Polytopes, 2nd ed.,

There is a more recent edition; the third, published by Dover Publications,
Inc., 180 Varick St., New York, NY 10014, copyright 1973.  If you can't find
it in a local bookstore, you can order direct from Dover.

If you are interested in seeing what models of the solids look like, see
"Spherical Models" by Magnus J. Wenninger, Cambridge University Press, 1979.
There is another book called "Dual Models" which I believe is also published
by the Cambridge Press.  I have seen it, but I don't own a copy, so I can't
give you the author's name or the publication date.
