He wants a general graphic design book. I did recommend "Thinking with Type" -- a very good book.

I'll check out the others recommended here.

Thanks to all,

James

Second for the Robin WIlliams "non-designer" books.
For typography I like Ellen Lupton's "Thinking with Type."
Johannes Itten's "The Art of Color" is also a must-read.

Also suggest getting a subscription to Communication Arts magazine (or
at least going to the public library to see if they subscribe).
Computer Arts is another really good hand-on magazine that is usually
available at Barnes and Noble (and other better bookstores and
newsstands).

Is the student more interested in general basics, print. web, or
motion graphics? Theory, techniques, or tools?

I really love the design for non designer books series by Robin Williams (a
girl, not the comedian!)

Totally non-stuffy and makes sense in bite sized chunks.

They might still be around or something similar.
