Good books, but not particularly good for hackers. I have the "The Elements of Typography Style" for example, it is certainly a classic, but it is written for people already familiar with typography to some extent, is very long and most of it isn't very relevant to web design.

A good design book for hackers, would have less than 200 pages and deal with the essentials, basic typography, using whitespace productively, grids, color theory etc. in a systematic way. If anyone has any recommendations for that kind of book, I would love to hear them.
