I like the little Taschen Icon books, have a shelf full of them, Feb 5 2009

This review is from: Design of the 20th Century (Turtleback)
This one, design of the 20th century, is a nice visual overview of some of the high points of industrial, commercial, and consumer design. I'm not an expert on design, and a thicker book would be less interesting to me on this topic. These Icon volumes tend to also get borrowed a lot by visitors, and my little ones have started getting interested in them as well.
