I haven't read this book yet, sorry.

I'd recommend Philip and Alex's Guide to Web Publishing:

It's not too particular to any technology, so it might not be immediately
useful.  On the other hand, after reading a few pages, I felt... inspired
to do something creative and useful.  I think that's a sign of a good
book.  *grin* His book covers a lot of design issues, including reasons
why databases are critical for a serious web site.  The whole book is
online on that site, so you can read it at your leisure.

Hope this helps!
