Coxeter's Regular Polytopes, 2nd ed., >> Macmillan, N.Y., 1963. There may be a more recent edition of this one. >> Coxeter is probably the 20th century's greatest geometer. 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.
