The book Basic GIS Coordinates (Jan Van Sickle, Boca Raton, Florida:
CRC Press, 2004, 173 pages, $82.95.) just came up here:

I haven't read anything from http://www.crcpress.com , but if you do
a quick GIS search on the front page, you'll come up with a number of
hits that appear to be highly technical.
Introduction to Mathematical Techniques Used in GIS might also be
helpful:

Though it is almost all theory with very little practical
instructions, I have found 'Principles of Geographical Information
Systems' by Peter Burrough and Rachel McDonnell
<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0198233655/sr=8-1/qid=1149922941/
ref=pd_bbs_1/102-7394625-8352158?%5Fencoding=UTF8>
to be a valuable reference when dealing with data structures and GIS
algorithms.
The above reference is mainly GIS and spatial statistics oriented..
there is not much detail about map projections, cartography or
geodesy. I can't recall a single book or source of info that would be
THE definitive reference for such topics. Check Amazon for anything by
John Snyder... his work is highly technical but the best at thoroughly
explaining the details of projections.
