Chandler.
Gotta go with my original "mental" source file.
His description gave you an insight into the personality of the characters as well as being great set-ups to some interesting internal/external dialogue.

Stephen King has a real knack for this.
I remember the first time I saw the movie Misery based on his book.
I was astounded that Kathy Bates looked so much like what I had pictured in my head, which in turn made me think WOW, he did a great job of describing her to me from her traits to her appearance.
The guy is gifted.
For descriptions, I also like Nora Roberts, Tess Gerritsen, I used to like Cornwell until her character Scarpetta took a dive into the gloom and doom side and got kinda wierd :/

King is good, but Dan Simmons is my favourite. But then again, Simmons is my favourite when it comes to a lot of things!
He just has a real mastery of the art - his characters are all brilliantly realised, and his descriptions of them are excellently accentuated by their actions and dialog.
