The one I learned from is:

	Computer Graphics - Principles and Practice
	Foley, van Dam, Feiner, Hughes
	Addison Wesley

At the time, it was widely considered to be the bible of 3D graphics, but
that was in 1995. It's still a good book for the maths and general
principles, but it doesn't cover OpenGL or DirectX, nor modern hardware or
algorithms tailored to such.
