An excellent book for us newbies.

I've now read through a small pile of CG books and I found that my self-studies would not have been complete without Parrish's excellent book. I wish I discovered it earlier when I first started struggling with 3D modeling and rendering software. I would recommend this as the first book a beginner in computer graphics should read; but also worth reading if you are a bit farther down the road.

This book is not tutorial based, and although many may say that it goes over the basics, its actually more of a personal enrichment process. Don't buy this book if you're a newbie and are just looking for tutorials to carry out. This book serves to make you wiser in the CG career and understand how things work, great reading material.
My only crit is that I don't like the horizontal style of the book, when you're sitting down to read it, its a pain because its so wide! I would have very much preffered a vertical book as this one being horizontal makes it easy for the covers to bend permanently, which is not pretty if you like to take good care of your books like I do.
