The 15 Design & Art Books I Have Read Over and Over Again

So there are these books that just won’t go out of style. Some, I have owned for more than ten years and still, I keep referring to them again and again. while others, more recent, have quickly risen in the pantheon of library must-haves.

I could probably have compiled a list of 30 books that I can’t live without, but these 15 here are my most favourite design and art books.
