Books

I own copies of some of these books, which I have indicated. If you can't get these through your local bookshop, Amazon is a good online UK source, with book reviews and information as well as reasonable prices.

Not a usual book about computer graphics, instead looking at the fundamentals of how images are represented within computers, and reproduced on devices. I own a copy of this book.

This has some information on Sound. It also has a website.
I have a copy of this book.

Has a section in the beginning about graphics file formats in general, including explaining of terminology, and then the rest of the (very large) book is taken up with giving details of individual file formats.

Prof. Turner has a copy of this book.
