LGEO does have textured slopes, not mapped but calculated on the fly by POV.
The effect is similar to that of the pics in the books.

I'm not sure what you mean by this (?)
Here is more odd stuff:
In "Lego City, The Ultimate Sticker Book", also from DK
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0789466716/ref=pd_sxp_elt_l1/002-0193358-7650454
On the cover, notice how the wheels in the truck are defined as *shiny*
black plastic instead of *matt* black rubber . This is yet another
coincidence: many Ldraw-L3P-LGEO-POV users often overlook that detail. In
Ldraw, when you think texturing, you think about color and assume everything
is made of plastic. But this is not how most computer 3D illustrators would
think. This happens again on page 3 (including a pic of an isolated wheel)
This was discussed in the "Excellent rendering" thread (although the
relevant examples are not longer available)

Hmmmm ... (shakes head not convinced yet)
Cheers
