I saw this book (Art Deco Textiles) on Cheeky Beaks (the great blog from Kristen Doran Design) and was immediately intrigued (check out her post for a look at a couple pages...). Going to the publisher's site I also saw a number of other titles dealing with Art Deco.
The one's below are my favourites based on cover and subject area (especially love the graphics cover!). Hopefully I'll come home with a few of these the next time I visit the bookstore!

Art Deco Graphics. Patricia Frantz Kery. 10" x 121/4", 476 illustrations, 248 in color. 320 pages. (click the title to go to publisher's description)
