[For a review of the 1st ed. (1988) see Zbl 0634.52002.] The second edition of this well-known treatise contains numerous minor corrections and improvements to the text. Extremely useful is the huge bibliography: The list of about 1.550 items in the first edition has been enlarged by a supplementary bibliography of approximately 350 items in the second edition covering mainly the period 1988 to 1992. The authors have also included a valuable 14 page preface to the second edition in which they summarize the progress obtained in the works of the supplementary bibliography. This report on recent developments is given in the order of the chapters of the work under review. Summing up the authors have even improved the great usefulness of their work. Anyone interested in sphere packings, in lattices in \(n\)- dimensional space, in the Leech lattice, in finite groups, quadratic froms, the geometry of numbers, or combinatorics should buy this book, and of course any institutional library. Compared to the wealth of information given, the price is really moderate. The authors are planning a sequel to the geometry of low-dimensional groups and lattices.
