The two I would reccomend the most are:
Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice (2nd Ed.), J.D. Foley,
A. van Dam, S.K. Feiner, J.F. Hughes, Addison-Wesley 1990, ISBN
0-201-12110-7
approx. 1200 pp., 21 chapters plus an appendix which reviews mathematics
for computer graphics.
Advanced Animation and Rendering Techniques
Alan Watt and Mark Watt
Addison-Wesley 1993, ISBN 0-201-54412-1
Both can be ordered directly from Addison Wesley
by phone: 1-800-447-2226.
