A Course of Pure Geometry: Properties of the Conic Sectionsby E.H. Askwith - Cambridge University Press
The book does not assume any previous knowledge of the Conic Sections, which are here treated on the basis of the definition of them as the curves of projection of a circle. Many of the properties of the Conic Sections are proved quite simply.
