a book called "mapping"
its THE best graphic design book, only because it takes design out of the context that we normally see it in. you can get it from the ywft site

A History of Graphic Design is a good book, also check Typographic Design: Form and Communication. I also like Grid Systems in Graphic Design. However one of my favs ever was this book my friends’ dad gave me. It is called Signes <> February 96.

The Art of Looking Sideways by Alan Fletcher
Not so much a graphic design book as a collection of creative observations. Inspirational.
