But very soon Bill Casselman starts to draw 3D objects in 2D and projection is where the story gets very interesting. (Think how to draw a polyhedron on a piece of paper.)

The book has an online version and a paper edition.

P.S. One tidbit I learned from this book is that doughnut, oh I mean, torus means cushion in Latin. Hehe.
