I need to beef up my design library. What are some of the best titles out there? I am particularly interested in books on typography.

I posted a similar question here.

I personally love TYPO by Friedl, Ott & Stein, to say it’s coffee table is understating the obvious. It’s a beautifully designed book. I took a quick snap here.

Google books on typography in my opinion...
Also, check out Magma Books, a store in London...
They always have a stash of real nice books...
