Basics Design: Grids
Grids has very nice examples of work to give you ideas. Wonderful for the beginner and would make a good reference for the professional as well. I like how it lists different kinds of grids and tells you how to execute them with tiny tidbits such as how to ensure a picture will be in line with text.
