Another highly recommended graphics book is:

Microcomputer Displays, Graphics, and Animation
by Bruce A. Artwick

It gets into very hands-on, non-theoretical discussions of implementing
graphics algorithms on small machines, with emphasis on optimizing 3-D
animation for speed. What a coincidence that Mr. Artwick wrote Flight
Simulator for the IBM, Amiga, Atari, C-64, etc, etc! I found it much easier
to go code from his book than from the Foley & Van Dam megabook.
