Based in part off Gibson's work, there's also The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman. First published as Psychology of Everyday Things in '88, it's arguable whether it counts as "older" but seems pretty timeless conceptually, even if the specific examples may become dated.

Edit: Oh, yeah. How about Tufte ('83 for Visual Display of Quantitative Information) and Albers (Interaction of Color in '63). I should think first, then post.
