Hey David!  Any book with a clear description of normal forms is useful.
One I remember as being decent was "A First Course in Database Systems"
(0138613370).  Also useful is a good book on UML, which I've found is
invaluable for database design.  For this "The Unified Modeling Language
User Guide" (0201571684) is good.
