+1 on Celko's book; it's on my bookshelf too. Good treatment of trees and graphs.

Here's an oldie but goodie that focuses on the practical aspects instead of theory:

Out of print for sure, but I've seen it available used for a dollar or two. Good real-world treatment of the logical design process.
