The Art of Looking Sideways
A Smile in the Mind
I always recommend the art of looking sideways by Alan Fletcher. It's a great book to just have laying around so you can look at it whenever you've got a couple minutes to spare.
Oh sorry. My bad. Muller-Brockmann is a legend. I haven't read his book. Is it any good?
I suggested Alan Fletcher's "The Art of Looking Sideways". It's good for replenishing the creative juices. Also, "False Flat" by Aaron Betsky is awesome. And you can't go wrong with Phillip "Meggs' History of Graphic Design". Far too many people don't have that book.
EDIT: I haven't read Muller-Brockmann's book but I imagine it's a great take on the modernist/rationalist grid. Though, times are a-changin' my friend. If you look at the top design programs out there, say Yale MFA Graphic Design, Werkplaats or KABK for example, things aren't exactly the way they used to be. The only name we have for what's happening right now is Contemporary Graphic Design. I love it. It's an amazing time to be practicing Graphic Design. Though most web design doesn't even come close to interesting, unfortunately.
Art Of Looking Sideways - Alan Fletcher
I own this book somewhere - it's quite an interesting 'read' but it is more on the 'arty/abstract' side of creative thought. I've recommended it to designers before - for editors it's... different.
Anyway if you like this type of book I can recommend "The art of looking sideways" - note it is as big as 'How Good' is small; but it's very thought provoking...

It's a special kind of awesome and inspiration you'll go back to for years
The coolest book in my shelf is 'The art of looking sideways'.
It is about design, art, literature, language, science, creativity, typography, weird facts, riddles, paradox, mystery, human nature. In fact, it's a book about everything.
You can read it in any order as every page has its own idea.
It is a book that can never be translated to kindle because it kind of has to be a book. There is different page textures and weights that relate specifically to the ideas on those pages.
Seriously, I've owned it now for four years and I am still surprised and delighted every time I open it up. Guaranteed boredom killer and the best coffee table book around.
It is also big enough that you could fight off a burglar with it.
