I like this gift list from abduzeedo.  It is not a list of the best sellers or the most popular, but a list of really interesting books that would make great gifts:  posters, graphics, brand theory, design and more. 
Example:  Art of the Modern Movie Poster:  International Postwar Style and Design
"Critically authoritative, visually stunning, and physically massive, 
Art of the Modern Movie Poster is the first and last word on post-WWII 
film poster design. Showcasing fascinating examples from 15 nations, 
this collection of more than 1,500 exemplary designs is a must-have for 
film buffs, design and poster aficionados alike. The posters are 
organized by country of origin, offering an intriguing glimpse into each
 region's unique visual sensibility and sometimes unexpected takes on 
familiar films. Gathered from the renowned collection of the Posteritati
 Gallery in New Yorkone of the largest holdings of international film 
posters in the worldthis volume is the definitive survey of both film 
and popular graphic art in the modern era."
