It makes me so happy to see this post! I can't believe that someone loves graph theory as much as I do, I wish my roommate was cool enough to get me a new graph theory text :)
One of my favorites is
http://www.amazon.com/Algebraic-Graph-Theory-Chris-Godsil/dp/0387952209
It's a text on algebraic graph theory, a bit more specialized than a lot of the books suggested here. If your friend doesn't have any books on algebraic graph theory then this should offer him quite a bit of new material to read over!
I haven't found any books I really care for, but Dan Spielman has some pretty good notes from a course here. Fan Chung has a book which is partially available online. Another term to look for is algebraic graph theory. There's a reasonably good book with that title.
Algebraic Graph Theory by Godsil and Royle is pretty good. I'm neither an expert in graph theory nor in algebra, and I still found this pretty approachable.
I also found the work of Roberto Frucht to be interesting, although ultimately, the problem he posed (Given a finite group G, design an algorithm that produces a graph whose symmetry group is exactly G, and which has the smallest number of vertices of all such graphs) has never been answered.
