taligator The Knit Stitch (The Knitting Experience, Book 1) by Sally Melville The Purl Stitch (The Knitting Experience, Book 2) by Sally Melville There is a 3rd book in that series but I haven't read it. Anything by Elizabeth Zimmermann is good. She's got some amazing books. If you want to put hip clothing books in, you might like the Deb Stoller books. She's got Stitch and b***h and Stitch and b***h Nation as well as Happy Hooker (crochet). That should give you a nice base.
That's pretty much my list exactly.

Honestly... I haven't really worked with knitting books. sweatdrop I taught myself to knit with online tutorials for the most part.
One book I would suggest is the Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Needlework. It covers the basics of not only knitting, but crocheting, embroidery, and a gajillion other needlecrafts. It gives an introduction to the tools, stitches, and techniques and also has some (admittedly rarely anywhere near my taste) projects to practice with. It can be an good all-around reference, and it's easy to find a copy cheap online.
As for specific knitting-oriented books, you might consider something that would appeal to a knitter with an interest in something different than the "standard" projects - I was thinking of something like Nicky Epstein's "Barbie Doll and Me : 45 Playful Matching Designs for Knitting". I haven't actually had the chance to look at the whole book myself, but I've seen glowing reviews for it, and it includes patterns for sweaters and such for Barbie, little girls, women, and a couple for boys and men as well. I think it would be good for people interested in knitting not only for themselves, but for children, nieces, or little sisters as well.
