There are many people with a lot more living space who have larger libraries than mine, but I still have a lot of books. Easily in the thousands.
I do have a very excellent art book collection.
These days my fiction-reading is all on kindle (I had to go electronic to save space, no regrets) but I get all my art books in physical copy. (Cookbooks too.)
Here are five cool art books.

Herbs for the Medieval Household
I got this book back when I worked at the Met in college. it came with a companion book about medieval households, which is also on my shelf, right next to this one.

This is an art book of a game.
I FREAKING LOVE THIS GAME.
The art is just awesome.
I happen to love concept art, and I tend to pick up art books for games, films, etc if I like the art style.
This one is one of my favorites.

Harold Speed.
Classic.
Enough said.
**********
This is a book which deals with visual storytelling through composition.It.
Is.
Awesome.
I have yet to see another book which deals with non-verbal communication through two-dimensional composition as in-depth as this one does.

I had this book when I was in elementary school. It was one of my first drawing books. The copy in my library is not the same copy I had-- but I found it a few years ago, happily!
I LOVED this book (still do) and spent many hours with it as a child.
The dimetrodon was always my favorite.
