Are there any books for 4D Beginners?

Hello everyone. I'm high school student who is interested in higher dimensional geometry.

Are there any books for 4D Beginners?
Not knowing advanced mathematics like topology yet, I don't know what to read
(Ah I read Flatland meaningfully)

Could you recommend some books for Beginners?

+ Oh, Is H.S.M. Coxeter's Regular Polytopes too hard to read for beginners?

I got this book for a christmas or birthday present, long ago (~20 yrs). It's excellent for beginners.

But pretty much anything written by Rudy Rucker is game. He does a great job with simple explanations and visual guides.

Rudy actually made a few of his books available as free ebooks and even free web pages.

It is certainly not too hard, maybe a bit less entertaining than the other books.

I recently read Surfing Through Hyperspace: Understanding Higher Universes in Six Easy Lessons. https://www.amazon.com/Surfing-through-Hyperspace-Understanding-Universes/dp/0195130065

Definitely recommend this one! There's a bit of a story that goes along with it. Very cheesy, but pretty good at explaining all sorts of implications of 4D space.
