I've got some gift cards from the holidays, and I really want to blow them on some cool art or illustration books. But I'm clueless.

I'd prefer something with some variety of styles in it, but I'm open to ideas. Anyone want to help me out and name some of their favorites?

Vernaculis by Ragnar is great, but it's all one style.

I got a book called Messed Up (or something similar I forget) and it's about designers that make mistakes which turn out to look really cool. It's a great read. And there are interviews in the back that are interesting.
