Professors Russell A. Rushmeier and Holly E. Rushmeier in IEEE's Computing Now Book Reviews conclude that:
On the whole, the authors have produced an excellent text with good coverage of essential topics and advanced treatment in many areas. In courses not emphasizing animation, or with the addition of extra materials in this area, the book should provide a good option as a course textbook. For researchers and practitioners outside of computer graphics who are interested in the field (particularly in modeling and rendering), this book provides a fine introduction.

Professor Ian Page writes in amazon.co.uk:
It is not enough just to produce an excellent text book for teaching at university level. In a fast-moving field like computer graphics, the text needs to be updated every few years and there is always a place for a brand-new text which looks at the field from a new point of view. There have been a succession of excellent texts for teaching computer graphics over the years, starting with Newman & Sproull in the 1970's (and which even now contains gems on how to design interactive systems which I wish some software writers had learned better!) This book, covering graphics and visualization, is a very commendable addition to that tradition. Authoring such a book is clearly a labour of love - as the size of the task demands - but the authors cover the material well. The book covers more than enough for a very solid undergraduate level course in computer graphics and plenty enough for an advanced course or two. This book provides a refreshing and comprehensive coverage of a subject area which seems to get ever more exciting as the hardware platforms to run these smart algorithms keeps increasing.
