"The Non-Designers Design Book" by Robin Williams. It was written without the web in mind. It's mostly about typography and spacing for posters, business cards, flyers, etc. But it translates suprisingly well to web design. http://www.amazon.com/Non-Designers-Design-Book-Robin-Willia...

The Non-Designer's design book has helped me 1 of every 5 days in the past month. I also recommend it.
