Hallelujah, the 2nd rendering bible (after Veach's thesis of course)! Greetz to Matt, he's lurking around here I think :)
Like every other rendering dev shop we've had a book on every table since it came out in print, but the digital version is still great for quick reference at the PC.
Veach thesis was truly years ahead.
For those who want to read it

Alternatively, it was exactly in its natural time. It just takes time for a) an academic discipline to absorb and reflect on ideas and b) industry to adapt
veach thesis gives me "damn I wish I could read" moments
