H. S. M. Coxeter selected the twenty-six papers included here from among his many papers dealing with reflection groups. The paper ``Two aspects of the regular 24-cell appears in print for the first time in this collection; the remaining papers are reprinted from various journals. The editors provide a brief mathematical introduction to the included papers. The items are essentially grouped by topic. Since there are many cross conenctions between the various papers, the grouping is one of convenience rather than a strict formal classification of their content. The first two papers provide the general introduction and background material on regular polyhedra and their various generalizations. Paper three on the 24-cell is a new paper dealing with this ``truly anomalous regular convex polytope (p. 1); papers 7-10, calculations of densities; papers 11-17, Coxeter groups; 18-19, sphere packings; 20-22, regular and semi-regular polytopes (spanning a period of forty-eight years from the first to the third papers); 23-26, groups generated by unitary reflections. Also included in this volume are the following items: a biographical sketch (six pages); a list of Coxeter's publications (two hundred fourteen items); a list of Coxeter's Ph.D. students; and an index.
