So general logic is anything that has to do with the rules of truth in a general case, whether it is empirical or a priori. Applied logic would be like discerning the rules of truth in any kind if empirical argument like say literary criticism or legal argument. Pure logic is Aristotelian logic in that its objects can be of empirical content but its purpose is to describe the laws of thought in general, abstracted from whatever its content may be. Transcendental logic is about the laws of metacognitions. He gives the example that geometry is not a transcendental representation because it relies on intuition, that of space, but the knowledge that geometry is not empirical, the judgement that geometry is intuitive rather than empirical, is transcendental. Is this right? And geometry is pure intuition because it is discernible without the senses, right?

You need prior knowledge to fit a cube into a square whole. In order to get prior knowledge, one must fit a square in another shape. If it doesn't fit perfectly, it is not a square.
You do need senses to determine whether or not geometry is useful to you.

Kant’s conception of the essentially non-conceptual character of geometrical
reasoning is thus especially sensitive to the circumstance that, in Euclid’s formulation of
geometry, the iterative application of initial constructive operations represents the
existential assumptions we would express by explicit quantificational statements in
modern formulations following Hilbert. Thus, for example, whereas Hilbert represents
the infinite divisibility of a line by an explicit quantificational axiom stating that between
any two points there exists a third, Euclid represents the same idea by showing how to
construct a bisection function for any given line segment (Proposition I.10): our ability
to iterate this construction indefinitely then represents the infinite divisibility of the same
segment. More generally, Euclid constructs all the points in his plane by the iterative
application of three initial constructive operations to any given pair of points: connecting
any two points by a straight line segment (Postulate 1), extending any given line segment
by another given line segment (Postulate 2), constructing a circle with any point as center
and any given line segment as radius (Postulate 3).

Are you asking if you correctly represented Kant's thought or if Kant is incorrect here

Yes.
>And geometry is pure intuition because it is discernible without the senses, right?
Yes, it is an intuition that allows us to make sense of experience.

What would Kantbros recommend as the best secondary source describing Kant's epistemology?
I just want the CPR For Dummies before I go into the CPR.
