Résumé :	Certain books, due to the originality of the subject covered or the approach adopted, are unclassifiable. Squigonometry: The Study of Imperfect Circles certainly falls into this category. This singular work was born from the meeting of two mathematicians -- Robert D. Poodiack, a professor at Norwich University, Vermont and William E. Wood, a professor at the University of Northern Iowa -- both of whom had previously published research articles on squigonometry, generalized trigonometry arising from the study of the p-unit circle \|x\|^p+\|y\|^p=1 for p >= 1 in the same way that usual trigonometric functions arise naturally from the study of the x^2+y^2=1 closed curve. Thinking that a collaborative article would not allow them to exhaust the list of interesting themes related to their subject of shared interest, they decided to work together to write a monograph. The resulting book stands out due to its innovative character, the appealing nature of its subject and how clearly it is expressed and explained.
