I'll throw this one out there though I'm sure some of you already know about it. "Rocket Propulsion Elements" is a pretty good book on the basics of rocket propulsion. I've dabbled in it a few times but do plan on a more comprehensive study (I'm an EE and actual coursework takes precedence over this, when I graduate I'll have more time).
