Do you happen to recall the title of that book? Or what it was about?

That is actually an earlier version of the book in the OP, they renamed it between editions.

Oh, didn't realize there was a second edition to Flights of fantasy. Looks like they added a shading chapter and more sound code.

Oh! I had the original version ("Flights of Fantasy") and that's where I learned as a teen about matrix multiplication to represent translation and rotation!

No idea sadly, I remember getting it from the university library in probably '91 or '92, and reading through it, but the title evades me, and searching on google and ddg brought no clues.
