Revision of my update: 1/9/2013
While I keep the 3 stars I have posted, I will like to add more details about the book.
This is comparing this book with the previous version.
A) The book is much better organized than before.
B) The new chapters are not worth the purchase.
C) It does have more exercises.
D) It still uses GL_QUADS .... Really? Are you serious?
Overall, I believe that the publisher and the authors rush this edition so it could be used in the class room. It is an expensive book. Another aspect that I heard from some people taking a CG course, is that they cannot buy an E-BOOK. While I prefer the "REAL" book, there are younger people preferring E-BOOKS.

I think if the book, could be updated to reflect Programmable Pipeline (and not one chapter devoted to it as they have it now) and more up to date information, it will have more potential.

Also, for the price they request, they could make the book in color. It only has a few  pages in the back in color. The rest is AMBER... Green and Black ...

I have to say, that Interactive Computer Graphics is a good course text book and more up to date. The one book that I think is perfect for a modern introductory computer graphics course is Foundations of 3D Computer Graphics by
Steven J. Gortler. This is the most beautiful book I have seen in the topic, except for the BIBLE (Foley) and maybe WATT. But for introductory course, go with Gortler!

REMAINS 3 STARS

*****
I revised both books and check some entire chapters. The chapter are identical. I have the following problem with the new edition

1) Cheap Paper (terrible paper)
2) The new material is so small that is not worth buying the book
3) They still use the old opengl ... They claim is easier to learn, which they have a point, but get with the times. that's a lazy approach.

If you can't find the third edition, then buy it. otherwise, get the third edition.

I don't wish to inhibit a trade in second hand versions of my book but it's been drawn to my attention that there are copies being sold for ridiculous amounts. This book is still for sale from my website at sudokuwiki.org and currently mailing from the UK to the US is half price. I'll also try and add some books on this Amazon page as well - for the normal price :)

There is lots of support on my website for Sudoku and this compliments the book greatly. Updated documentation on strategies, a constantly updated solver for Sudoku and four variations and plenty of daily and weekly puzzles. I continue to work on Sudoku and puzzle games and I'll be happy to answer any questions about the book or Sudoku generally.

All the best

This updated version is great. The original was great too, but, with these updates it's worth getting, even if you have the original. I got the Audible version and listened to it on a long trip. Then I bought the hard copy.

AWESOME book. I got a version from 2010 (used), which is a little different from the original publication in 1994. I was worried some recipes are missing (and still suspect this is the case), but have also found (great) recipes in my version that *aren't* in the original (try the "All-Time-Best Summer Torte").

Excellent updated version with new strategy included.  The organization of the new book is also very easy for reader to follow along.

I'm taking a 2-day intro class with the author, and he said 5/17/13 that an update of this book with a new but similar title will be published and available on Amazon "soon". The class is very good, and I will be buying the new book when it's available.
