I think too many books are just eye candy, I like the ones that are well written too. a couple come to mind:
-- Rethink Redesign Reconstruct
-- Sagmeister's book

sagmeister: made you look
tibor: perverse optimist
paul rand: modernist design
problem solved
alphabets [wim crouwel]
graphic design manual [hofmann]
grid systems in graphic design [brockmann]

like F18 said :
art of looking sideways
i love it. its more of a collection of ideas and etc. whenever i need inspiration i just open it at a random page

Hmm tough to chose just one, but I agree there are way too many eye candy books (ex: Los/Dos Logos, sorry I think these books suck *im sure I will get heat for that as they seemed to be praised by many)
- Dutch Type - Jan Middendorp
- The Graphic Artist and his Design Problems - Josef Muller-Brockmann
Currently Reading Fred Smeijer's "Counterpunch" that is also quite interesting.
