Directions Magazine has a highly positive review of the new book GIS Cartography: A Guide to Effective Map Design by Gretchen Peterson. A bit expensive at around $80, but the review also links to a free printable poster that summarizes the “Five Layers Of Effective Map Design”, which is worth a look in any case. You can find more books on map design listed on this post.
