Funny you should ask, Randolph Fritz (rmfritz3@gmail.com) posted an update on the status of this book just last week on the radiance-general list. The book/bible is long out of print from M-K, but a while back Randolph and Charles Ehrlich organized an effort to make hard copies available again, and there are a few left. Get some! Here's Randolph's recent post, in its entirety, since it tells you everything you need to know:
This is a reminder that the basic
reference Rendering with Radiance is
still available, both from me in
softcover for $35 + shipping and
handling and in print-on-demand
hardcover from Chas Ehrlich for $80 on
Amazon. I also have four misprints
left that I'll ship anywhere in the
USA for $12, total.
The Amazon hardcovers are the second
printing. They are print-on-demand
books and (Chas tells me) the cover
looks a bit rough They are available
for US$80 + shipping at:
http://www.amazon.com/Greg-Ward-Larso...
(don't even worry about the
over-priced ones that Amazon lists;
the pricing seems to be the result of
some weird Amazon thing.)
My softcovers are the third printing
and contain some additional
corrections to the mathematics. They
are available for US$35 + shipping
through my web site (or just write me)
at:
http://www.panix.com/~randolph/book/
Truth in marketing: there will
eventually be a cheap or free PDF
version of the book, but don’t hold
your breath. Amazon’s shipping prices
outside of the USA may be better than
mine . . . or not, I really don’t
know.
