I'm trying to find some good books to get for Christmas. I'm looking for either artist collections and/or reference books. Any "must haves" out there that I should know about?

Really good book if you're into typography.

I think there's a lot of better work on emptees than some of the stuff on 300% cotton.
I bought the book and nothing really blew me away.

and one more badass....

that last one is sooo badass! but it's hard to come by now, the company that published it went out of Biz about two years ago, and now this sweet book that used to be 24 bucks skyrocketed to 245! Dammit! I wish I bought two when I had the chance!
