I have 2 here in the office:
'Conceptual Blockbusting: A guide to Better Ideas' 3rd edition James L. Adams
'Principles of Two Dimensional Design' Wucius Wong
But seriously, I get the majority of my design ideas and theories by just looking at other designs...always gets my juices flowing.

Books I have found Amazing are "Grid Systems in Graphic Design" by Josef Muller Brockman and "A Graphic Designer and his Design Problems" or something like that by the same Author. I will warn that they are out of print and expensive to get, but I bought them and found them totally worth it!

'Graphic Design Solutions' 2nd edition, by Robin Landa, is pretty good for me.
