Looking for some cool design books. I mostly edit video but I want to handle more graphic design work. Any ideas?

Thanks

I like D&AD award annuals. But it's always a bit of a hunt to get them and they can cost alot of money.

graphis annuals are also good

The design books I've bought are:

'Stop Stealing Sheep & find out how type works' by Spiekermann
Altitude, contemporary Swiss design
and Non Format's new one.

All different, but equally ace.

Google the titles to find them, I checked and they all come up.

What is Graphic Design by Quentin Newark for the basics

A century of graphic design. I can't remember the author but you could run a search.

you can also check out the design encyclopedia : thedesignencyclopedia.org

designobserver.com also has a booklist you can choose from

Seconded. Content aside, the actual design of it is proof of how effective grids can be.
