Andre Lamothe's "Tricks of the 3d Game Programming Gurus: Advanced 3d Graphics and Rasterization" is a great book for anyone interested in graphics programming from those days.

https://github.com/othieno/GPBB - the last chapter is a Quake retrospective.

There's also the columns he wrote for Dr Dobbs' Journal during development. They're like an expanded, illustrated version of GPBB chapter's first half. https://www.bluesnews.com/abrash/contents.shtml
