A classic text is,

    Computer Graphics, Principles and Practice

by

    Foley, van Dam, Feiner and Hughes

published by

    Addison Wesley

It is used in many univeristy graphics classes both introductory
and advanced. You get everything from 2D to 3D geometry, Image
Processing, Interface design and implementation, and graphics
hardware architecture.

The chapter headings are:

     Introduction
     Programming in the Simple Raster Graphics Package
     Basic Raster Graphics Algorithms for Drawing 2D Primitives
     Graphics Hardware
     Geometrical Transformations
     Viewing in 3D
     Object Hierarchy and Simple PHIGS
     Input Devices and Interaction Techniques and Tasks
     Dialoge Design
     User Interface Software
     Image Manipulation and Storage
     Advanced Raster Graphics Architecture
     Advanced Geometric and Raster Algorithms
     Advanced Modeling Techniques
     Animation
     Appendix: Mathematics for Computer Graphics
