Framed Ink- Not that ideas in the book are revolutionary, the same thought process about storytelling has been written about for years, but in this book it is very clearly presented, the illustrations are great, and it is one of the few books I read that totally inspired me to tell stories.
LifeStyle Illustrations from 60's- Wow, these guys/gals could draw! An awesome HUGE book with a ton of wonderful illustrations. Great fashion reference, great technique reference...all the pieces have wonderful feel to them.
Life in Pictures: Jim Starlin- A coffee table art book on one of the best storytellers in comics. Looks at Starlin's work on Warlock, Captain Marvel, Young Gods, Breed, Dreadstar, and all the other titles. Also has a section on his book illustrations and paintings. Totally enjoyed it.
