If you haven't yet blown a week's paycheck on some of the stunning volumes from Berlin-based art and design publishing house Die Gestalten Verlag, start saving up. The house's catalog of publications is tiny (about 250 titles so far), but curated with razor-sharp taste. The lush collection of art and design monographs includes work from such luminaries as WK, FriendsWithYou, and Non-Format. Also worth the hefty-ish pricetags are indispensable design resources such as  Neubau Welt, Stefan Gandl's volume of ultrasweet vector art. And then there are the occasional glinting gems of unsurpassable delightfulness, such as The Smallest Book in the World. Measuring 2.4 x 2.6 mm, this little leather bound volume is produced with maniacal attention to detail, each page featuring a single letter from an collection of faces designed by German typographer Joshua Reichert.  You'll never have to feel uninspired again.
