For composition, I love the book "making and breaking the grid" by timothy samara.

For general design thinking, not the meme way but the "we should design useful things that people understand how to use" i would highly recommend you to read "the design for everyday things" by Don Norman.

For typography, "The Elements of Typographic Style" by Robert Bringhurst will help you learn more about type and to take decisions on what type will work best. Old The Futur youtube videos about typography are high quality. The futur also produce good interviews and did produce good videos to learn, but their business tips are basically snake oil salesman tips.

From there I would take a look on online courses. Lynda had a bunch of good courses before they were bought by linkedin that i believe can still be torrented from cgpeers or similar trackers.

No book here is the end of it all, you will still read more shit, but they will give you a good baseline so you can advance of what you are lacking at the moment. Also, nothing here will make you master just by reading. You need to apply it in projects, and you can start with fictional ones.

Btw, if there is any brazilian here, I would highly recommend watching the Acedemia Tipográfica courses as they are very high quality and are free now.
