10 multimedia books for your holiday wish list

This post is also available in Spanish

Although Christmas is right around the corner, there is still enough time to buy some last-minute presents … for yourself! Included here are 10 books that I have asked for this year. The graphics books were all highly recommended from former UNC graphics professor Alberto Cairo, and the multimedia books were meticulously chosen throughout the past year. I hope you can grab at least one of these books to invest in continued education during the new year!
