Anyone know of any really excellent books on design fundamentals (line, composition, color theory, typography, etc)?? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

A default for any library but very hard to come by (out of print but it can be found):
Mueller Brockmann's Grid Systems for Graphic Design
Study the movements of Constructivism and de Stijl
Bringhurst's The Elements of Typographical Style
Subscribe to "Communication Arts" and "Print"
