i was just checking out the recommended book in the NTB - "Graphic design for the 21st Century." and was just wondering about any other great design books?

anything by steven heller.
New Design: London by Edward M. Gomez this has some brilliant work in it and has never failed to inspire me.
actually, the latter is a whole series, so you might wanna check out the others too.

yea! unfortunatly i only have the london copy right now. it is really fantastic. you wont be disapointed!
if you get some of the others in the series, youll have to let me know how they are, though if my suspicions are correct, then they will be just as rockin!
