Art and Design Books - Recently Acquired

I should have addressed the subject of Graphic Design books a long time ago. Well, now I have a tag for such posts.

I'll start with a list of art and design related books that I bought in the last few weeks. Most of these books I ordered online, so they haven't arrived yet. This means that I can't review them just yet, but since this blog isn't really a blog, but a collection of notes, references and a record of my literary pursuits, I would assume that I don;t really have an audience and that no one will mind.

But if there is some sort of art and design loving audience out there, it's always good to know what kind of design books are available.

Not all these books are strictly about graphic design. Some of them deal with marketing and project management - I need these for work, while others have more of a 'art theory' vibe to them - these I need for general happiness.
