( Does anyone out there have any opinions or comments on the book "Graphics

    I really haven't heard any bad opinions of the book; I HAVE heard a
lot of glowing praise though.  Personally, it's one of my favorite
graphics books.

    I recommend that you find a copy and and browse for a minute.  That
should convince you (sort of like eating M&M's).  I highly recommend this
book.
