- "Even today, the title is often cited, because this allows manuscripts to be freed from lengthy evidence and explanations. ; "I believe many people have been inspired by Grünbaum and Shephard's book"; "seminal work"; "comprehensive reference"; "The contributions of Branko Grünbaum and G.C. Shephard to the development of a coherent and rigorous theory for tilings cannot be overstated, and much of their work is summarized in their magnum opus Tilings and Patterns"; "A classic of tiling theory". (en)
- Washburn and Crowe in their 1988 book Symmetries of Culture: Theory and Practice of Plane Pattern Analysis wrote "The history of the two-color and more highly colored patterns is well described in the treatise of Grünbaum and Shephard , which can be taken as the definitive text for the mathematical theory of patterns in general".
Marjorie Senechal in her 1995 book Quasicrystals and geometry wrote "Tiling theory was given coherence by Grünbaum and Shephard , who clarified and unified the theory of tilings of the plane and laid a theoretical foundation for much of it."
Doris Schattschneider in her 2004 book M. C. Escher: Visions of Symmetry wrote "The most comprehensive reference for all aspects of the subject is Tilings and patterns, by mathematicians Branko Grünbaum and Geoffrey Shephard". (en)
- László Fejes Tóth wrote in Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society: "Their effort is crowned by the unique comprehensive monograph Tilings and patterns, which lays a solid foundation for one of the most attractive fields in geometry."
Solomon W. Golomb writing in The American Mathematical Monthly: "This is a marvelous book" [...] "I recommend this book enthusiastically to anyone interested in problems of tiling the plane".
H.C. Williams in The Mathematical Gazette wrote: "This is a very significant book and no University or College library should be without one and many mathematicians will desire a personal copy".
Joseph Malkevitch reviewing the book for Science wrote: "What Grünbaum and Shephard have done, in a dazzling display of scholarship, erudition, and research, is collect in one volume a compendium of the accumulated knowledge about tilings and patterns developed by a wide range of individuals including artisans and craftsmen, mathematicians, crystallographers, and physicists."
The review in American Scientist was written by Marjorie Senechal: "Every once in a while a book comes along that is required reading for the scientifically literate. Tilings and Patterns is such a book."
E. Schulte wrote the entry in zbMATH Open: "I hope that this review conveys my impression that Tilings and Patterns is an excellent book on one of the oldest mathematical disciplines. Most certainly this book will be the 'bible' for this kind of geometry."
R.L.E. Schwarzenberger wrote the review in Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society: "It is the first rigorous and authoritative account of the classification of various natural kinds of tiling , and of the classification of discrete patterns which is used to achieve this." (en)
