Although grid systems are quite common in print media, only recently has the web harnessed the full power of grid-based layouts.

One of my favourite design books is Making and Breaking the Grid: A Layout Design Workshop by Timothy Samara. It stresses not only the importance of using grid based layouts, but also demonstrates their versatility, especially when a designer chooses to cleverly break the rules(!)
