Grid Systems: Principles of Organizing Type (Design Briefs)
by Kimberly Elam
On This Page
Description
Although grid systems are the foundation for almost all typographic design, they are often associated with rigid, formulaic solutions. However, the belief that all great design is nonetheless based on grid systems (even if only subverted ones) suggests that few designers truly understand the complexities and potential riches of grid composition.Tags

I think of this book as a well-composed and very clear introduction to working with grids.
The great amount of examples given and the see-through grids overlaying pages contribute really well to the contents of the book.
In short: a good way to start learning about grids and a helpful guide through the graphical design process.
