Now here's a book I'd like to see stuffed into my Christmas stocking — Creative Computer Graphics is a large format book chock full of illustrations of graphics created by computers. The book aims to show just what is currently being achieved in computer graphics from films like Tron and the awesome-looking but as yet unfinished, The Work to commercial designs like the Channel Four logo. It's a coffee table book really, rather than a serious educational tome — although the text surrounding the lavish illustrations is interesting, if not deeply analytical. Personally, I love coffee table books and this one is one of the most flickable I've seen. Some of the pictures I've not seen before and some of the graphics are astounding, although not the sort of thing your going to see on your home micro. Not that micros are completely ignored; there is a section towards the end of the book which covers games and mentions a few favourites like Valhalla and Commodore's Soccer The choices are a bit random and some pictures which are evidently from Psion's QL packages are described as being on the Spectrum computer — nevertheless a brilliant Christmas present.
