Sound Design

David Sonnenschein.
I've said in the past and will say again: it is in depth and might be a little 'too much' but everyone is different.

And read anything by Walter Murch (mainly known as a film editor but one of the masters of blending picture and sound, usually designing and editing and sometimes mixing his own).

His book about the Cold Mountain film was just excellent. Not primarily about sound design, but good to have the reference.
Peachpit: Behind the Seen: How Walter Murch Edited Cold Mountain Using Apple's Final Cut Pro and What This Means for Cinema

Cool

Practical Art of Motion Picture Sound - Yewdall

The Foley Grail - Ament

The Sound Effects Bible - Viers


Also, lose yourself in filmsound.org for a while; lots of great articles, and don't ignore the history stuff!

David Sonnenschein's book is fantastic. He also teaches and does seminars in the LA area, and is really a treat to learn from.
