great stuff

One of the most informative books i have read. Note that this book was used for a college course at NYU in the early 80s... Full of optical principles some of which go slightly above the average artists head. Only read this if you remember your physics classes from high school quite well and can stand tons of text book reading. It took me months to read and digest all of this information. I had to re-read sections several times.
