If you havent listened to the Creative Act on audiobook I would highly recommend it! Felt like Rick was a wizard guiding me through the forest

Great video. Will be getting a bunch of these!

I would add A Visual History of Type, by Paul McNeil - it's the size of tomb stone and yet utterly wonderful.

Thanks for the great recommendations! A favorite of mine is Paula Scher's "Make it bigger". She shares inside stories from her career and the creative process from her most iconic works. Great book.
