 | Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, 2nd Edition by Steve Krug
Buy new: $26.40 / Used from: $17.20 So simple it's brilliant. You can start anywhere in the book and get a brainful. The kind you can share with the group of engineers eager to design a logical layout for the public without marketing input.
It's not rocket science either. Well written. Well presented. Excellent content. A must-have for all types of designers and the general population who manage their own websites.

 | Bulletproof Web Design: Improving flexibility and protecting against worst-case scenarios with XHTML and CSS (2nd Edition) by Dan Cederholm
Buy new: $26.39 / Used from: $22.99 I used to rely on those yellow books "Pro CSS" as my reference for a float issue every now and again. However, this book is truly the best.
It comes to me in color and has lots of white space. I've not yet had time to read it all but I've solved two current issues within a week of owning it.

 | Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of Web Design by Andy Clarke
Buy new: $34.64 / Used from: $22.00 Pretty pictures and great ideas to envigorate you. Not so much a "how to" book as it is inspiration.

 | The Principles of Beautiful Web Design by Jason Beaird
Buy new: $26.37 / Used from: $16.78 I can't remember why I loved this book so much but I carried it around with me for a month for whenever I had 5 minutes to dive in. It was like a delicious chocolate that was savored.

 | Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3 by Scott Kelby
Buy new: $31.49 / Used from: $28.53 I'm Impressed Scott. Be sure to thank your brother Jeff (who must be right-brained) for the idea for this right-brained gem in the land of photography books for left-brainers.
(I actually read the introduction before skipping to the good stuff. That's impressive)
