Ok So I recieved some Graphic design related Books the other day (Basic Design Colour and DIY: Design it Yourself)

Im really pleased with the Bsaics of Design Colour but I feel DIY tries to cover to much in not enough detail, but all in all there real helpful for someone (Like me) whos just starting out.

So basically can anyone else suggests more books releated to graphic design. Im open to anything you guys throw at me.

I have these:
Thinking with Type (good intro to typography)
Making and Breaking the Grid (grid systems, of course)
The Elements of Color and The Art of Color: The Subjective Experience and Objective Rationale of Color are short and expensive, but classics...required reading (or should be...) at most reputable art schools.
The Interaction of Color (another classic)
