I found a new book that others may find useful.

	Graphics File Formats, David C. Kay and John R. Levine,
	Windcrest/McGraw-Hill, 1992. ISBN 0-8306-3060-0

It contains descriptions, info, and history of many graphics file, 
bitmap, and compression  formats.  Much of this info is publicly 
available.  However, this book is nice because it collects it all  
in one place.
