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."
