Did E. Moise author a high Geoemtry text "Geometry" in the 60's and 70's?
Where can I find a copy. Internet searches have yielded 0 results? Am I
crazy?

Moise and Downs wrote a Geometry text that I used to teach from in the
late 60's. My copy is at school right now. It was published by
Addison-Wesley, I believe. so that may narrow your search.

Always growing,

I tried using the keywords Moise Geometry and the searcher Google
(www.google.com) and came up with a number of results, including
these:

http://math.rice.edu/~joel/NonEuclid/reference.html#[Moise-74]
E.E. Moise. Elementary Geometry from an Advanced Standpoint,
Addison-Wesley, Reading, MA (1974). This book gives a clear, yet
complete, axiomatic development of the Poincaré Disk Model, and other
geometric systems. The only prerequisite to this text is a solid
understanding of typical high school geometry.

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Geometry.html
Moise, E. E. Elementary Geometry from an Advanced Standpoint, 3rd ed.
Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley, 1990. This edition is available from
amazon.com for $85:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201508672/ericstreasuretroA/10
2-5366383-1728957.

The best discussion group for this question is not geometry-forum,
but geometry-pre-college. You can read about these groups, which are
hosted and archived by the Math Forum, here:

Hope this helps. :-)
