Design Books

I was a lucky, lucky boy and given an Amazon voucher the other day.

I'm looking for good design book recommendations - preferably print design or something to help web design novices. Any suggestions?

I'd highly recommend "How To Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul" by Adrian Shaughnessy.

Well worth the read.

Amazon.com: How To Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul (9781568985596): Adrian Shaughnessy: Books

Fries With That - I agree, I've got that one, it's a great book. That's the type of thing I'm after rather than an 'eye candy' style book.

Boss Hog - Cheers for the link, I hadn't seen that one. I'll have a read through now.
