I recently thought of buying some good graphic design inspiration book. but the problem is choice, I got a big list of book and I don't know which one to buy. I prefer books with a lot of pictures.My main subject is posters and creative drawings. no UI Design. (eg: behance creative book, iron fist etc). Can anyone suggestion good book and why you are suggesting me. I believe a lot in community, so I like to hear from you guys. This is my first question too :). Thanks in Advance.

A book on inspiration would in time become outdated, expensive and some books are based on the current trends. If you're looking for inspiration instead of purchasing a book I would look for websites pertaining to the field you have in mind.

(An example for web) I frequently like to visit sites such as:


CSS Design Awards
Awwwards
Bootstrap Expo
Foundation Examples


For my book collection on my shelf I go with:


The Web Designer's Idea Book


Mind you the book is on it's 4th volume so if you're looking to go this route I would look at current sites and only get books if you like collecting books around your field because at 20+ a pop you will almost spend 100 dollars on a printed version.

"Best" is subjective. I don't think there is an ultimate inspirational book. Inspiration comes from anywhere/everywhere depending on your state of mind at a given time.
Why not accumulate a collection of books over time?
