My absolute favorite computer graphics book is

	Procedural Elements for Computer Graphics

Unfortunately, it is on long term loan again (first Steve B., then
Dave B., then David J....) so I can't give you publisher or ISBN#.
But any bookstore should be able to look it up and order it for you.

It has a little bit of everything with relatively easy-to-understand
pseudocode for everything.

It covers algorithms for line drawing, fills, dithering, rotation,
hidden-line removal, shading/tracing, and color conversions.

 Integer math - it's all so pointless.
