Hi, I'm looking for some good books on pixel and vertex shaders. I know about ShaderX2, but if anyone could give me some other good book titles before I decide which one to buy, that would be great. Thanks!

For more advanced stuff

Great, thanks! I had heard of "GPU Gems" before, but didn't realize it was about shaders.

Thanks!

I heard Shaders for Game Programmers and Artists was good. I forget where from though.
