A good book to use when first starting in computer graphics is:

Computer Graphics:  A Programming Approach
By: Steve Harrington.
McGraw Hill 1987

I found it an excellent introduction to computer graphics from
bresenhams all the way through 3-d animation and interactive graphic
techniques.  He basically follows the CORE graphics standard, and if
you follow the book from begining to end and impliment the algorithms 
that he presents, you will end up with an excellent knowledge of core, 
as well as a reasonable implementation of it.
