Most of this book is about low level DOS graphics programming (outdated now, but good nonetheless). The final chapters are a collection of Abrash's articles that appeared in the "Dr. Dobbs SourceBooks" series. They contain information about BSP trees, span sorting, etc. | * "Zen of Graphics Programming, 2nd edition" by Michael Abrash. \\ Much easier to read than "Computer Graphics".
