      I've been reading "JavaScript Web Applications" by Alex MacCaw and it provides a great introduction to MVC and a number of popular client-side frameworks. It also contains a ton of best practice advice for general JavaScript development. Definitely worth checking out.

      I would recommend Alex Maccaw's javascript Web Applications. Sure it's about Javascript, but how really big can your HTML/CSS get before you modularize? :) What I like about the book is that it explains the fundamentals of MVC in a framework agnostic way, which I think is helpful if you are trying to refactor and MVC-ize your code base without throwing in a heavy dependency like Backbone or Spine.

      I can also recommend Javascript Patterns and Javascript Web Applications by O'Reilly. They're both solid books.

      I recommend not 1, but 3. Even better if you read them in this order:

      Javascript: The Good Parts by Crockford Javascript Patterns, by Stefanov Javascript Web Applications, by MacCaw
