Can somebody suggest a high school geometry book written like Spivak's calculus book, assuming no previous knowledge.

A possible such text is the book co-authored by G. D. Birkhoff that I mentioned in a comment at High School Geometry Text?. – Dave L. Renfro Oct 12 '15 at 15:50

@DaveL.Renfro Sorry. It's been a while. I did see the book and was reading it. I was addicted to user-unfriendliness of Spivak's and the likes and took me three days to really start to appreciate the Birkhoff's book. Now I think it's really great. It goes to the heart of the subject in a way appropriate for high school level. Cheers – Lax Oct 14 '15 at 02:07

As I said in my other comment, I haven't seen a copy of this book yet, but given what you've said I'll definitely keep my eye out for it (at college libraries, used bookstores, etc.). However, I'm probably not enough of a geometry fan to order a copy online, but I might buy it if I see it at a used bookstore one day. – Dave L. Renfro Oct 15 '15 at 13:21
