Thanks for the recommendations everybody. I will probably end up buying each of these and going through them. I have picked up a lot of design tips over the years but never spent time to really learn the fundamentals of what makes good design. It is a bit like non-graduate programmers who skip over compsci theory, for eg. I know how to do stuff in CSS, I know how to copy and paste templates from the web, but never understood why certain designs and UI's are good and others aren't I will prob do a blog post on these books and tips etc. in a few months once I go through it all properly - thanks again.
