Best practices for graphics?

I'm working on a project that involves ray-tracing and looking for advice on best practices. Has anyone read "Little Black Book of Ray-Tracing and Path-Tracing" and can recommend specific chapters?

Little Black Book of Ray-Tracing and Path-Tracing is worth it just for the appendix on best practices.
