Two more great books to have in the mechanical world:

"Manufacturing Processes for Design Professionals" - amazing photos, diagrams, explanations, etc. of every major manufacturing process - great coffee table book.

"Materials Selection in Mechanical Design" - great book with "Ashby Charts" that let you compare materials against their material properties - e.g. strength vs. weight.

I really love this book, I found a first edition copy in a used bookstore in Maine on vacation.
