Handbook of Pictorial Symbols
With a collection of 3,250 glorious icons, Handbook of Pictorial Symbols is great inspiration for any designer. Gathered from sources from around the world, these elegant yet minimal icons are a reminder that simplicity is truly key. Below is a small selection of my favorites from the book.

Awesome, I just bought this on amazon for 1 cent. They added on 4 bucks shipping but still super cheap. Thanks for the link!
