I've only heard good things about it.  It has lots of details that
any textbook necessarily has to gloss over.

BTW:  some time ago, someone mentioned a computer book club that was
offering 3 books for $5 when you join, and Graphic Gems and the 
RayTracing book were available.  Could anyone tell me what issue of
what magazine that offer was in?  

thanks,
