I would like to give (gift) a book to a friend which studied art for many years and is thinking about studying graphic design.

I know pretty much stuff about web design, having read books, articles and guides, I know that good web design books always explain a bit of graphic design too, but usually they're more specific to web stuff.

I'd like to give her a book which is more about graphic design in general (she likes illustration) informative, practical and inspiring.

Any suggestion?

The newest edition of Meggs' History of Graphic Design came out recently. It's great as far as a historical textbook goes.

This book addresses the question of how to be a designer.

All of Tufte's books are very informative but a bit dense and overly scholarly.
