This probably isn't what you had in mind, but is perhaps the best overall resource book I know of for building web sites. Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug. It's a tome on useability and making websites that wook for the people that visit them. It's a concise work and an easy read and something that will make you say to yourself, "Of course!..." when he covers many of the aspects of web site design.
