TLDR #3: 'Web and digital for graphic designers' (Leonard et al., 2020) is a wide-ranging web design text. Packs plenty into one pedagogical paperback. Full of fun errors like "the Internet was used in WW2", "our closing paragraph is a bullet point", and "a quarter of our index entries are wrong".

TLDR #2: 'The complete color harmony' (Sutton, 2024) is verbose and somewhat airy-fairy, but full of ready-to-use colour palettes. The book is a primer on the use of colour in – crucially – advertisement, branding, and fashion. Great for that, of limited use for broader artistic understanding.

TLDR #1: 'Typography essentials' (Saltz, 2019) is a visual feast that covers the basics. It does misspell its own title in the introduction, and I almost completely lost my mind trying to read it as an ebook, but these are small matters in the scheme of things.

They all have typos and weird grammatical constructions on practically every page. It's really remarkable. Do authors not know that they can pick up 90% of basic errors just by reading their text out loud? Or idk, hire a copy editor?

As for stand-outs, I'm picking these four posters as my favourites of the 31 I made. (See the original posts in the #fantasticaluniquities tag for art credits and font choices!)
