I'm the author of this book.
It's hard to please everyone... An early technical review comment stated that "you should include complete source, mere snippets aren't very helpful". I disagreed with this, especially since conciseness was critical. If you read the full book, you'll see that snippets are the primary mode for examples.
Did I use full source in a few places? Yes, guilty as charged, and required given that not everyone will have access to the example code. However, I'm constantly looking for ways to reduce the page count in future revisions, so I'll consider removing some of the source. This might make room for things like FBOs or an expanded GLSL section.
No apologies for the chapter 1 material -- this is a beginner's book.

This book does not cover stereo rendering. Sorry, but being "distilled" meant that many things had to fall by the wayside.
