It's a very pretty little book, much more an aesthetic work than
anything of theoretical significance. It will appeal to those who
like geometric art as well as to the mystically/numerologically
inclined.

Oh, is there more than one kind in the book? I'm clueless about
it. Just looked interesting. They look something like lissajous
curves, but the amazon page claims they're "unique". Anyway, if
you know what they are, please spill the beans.
