thanx for the replies! I'm really interested in the second one, I'll look for both of them this weekend and see if I think they'll help me out at all.

What type of book are you looking for? A manual, or something different? I have a book by a guy named "Tufte" that's does a great job illustrating the value of presenting information well. It doesn't really tell you how to draw bezier curves, but that's a different kind of book.

Whether it be print or even web...study Milton Glaser. He is the "Da Vinci" of graphic design.

"Stop Stealing Sheep".... something or other... look for it on Amazon.com. Good basics of typography. For example, why s p a c e d o u t lowercase looks crap, while U P P E R C A S E spaced out looks classy.
