This is a difficult question, since the most popular OpenGL books, the
red book (OpenGL programming guide) and OpenGL superbible are nearly 100
pages thick. I prefer the programming guide.
If you're just starting to learn OpenGL and are not interested (yet) in
the latest stuff like shaders I'd suggest you just get an older edition
of the red book, they're only about 700 pages.
