What Hacker News says

   I'm not sure I know exactly what you mean by web design. So lets start there.

   a. The look: the graphic design of the page.

   b. The interaction: Usability and UX

   c. Designing and coding with good software design principles.

   d. Some thing else?

   I can point you to some good books for b. or c., however a. is the holy grail. I have never found a good book on web design from a graphic design perspective. That said Ill share with you what I would consider the closest I have found.
