recommendations for Euclidean Geometry Books

Hi,

I am a math major.. and was not successful into getting in graduate school.
So my plans changed now to teach Math at high school level (or elementary).
(now it sounds like all the math guys with lower math skills teach at
schools)
Since I was planning to go to graduate school, I did not take any Euclidean
Geometry courses.
Now in the summer Im planning to go at least through one book of Euclidean
Geometry that would broaden my knowledge of Euclidean Geometry and help me
in teaching such classes at high school level.

any suggestions of Euclidean Geometry books??

I searched for Euclidean Geometry books at Amazon.com, and two books seemed
to have best reviews:

(1) Advanced Euclidean Geometry (Paperback)
by Alfred S. Posamentier
(2) Geometry Revisited (New Mathematical Library) (Paperback)
by H. S. M. Coxeter, Samuel L. Greitzer

the first book sounds like a good reference for Euclidean Geometry, while
the second is more into giving students further insights?

Any other recommendations?
thx for all replies in advance
