I really like the "brilliant" series by Steve Johnson, which has a heavily visual style closer to a PowerPoint slideshow (text: images) and you can dip into any section in any order to learn/clarify something. Sadly he's stopped publishing so the books available are incredibly out of date (E.g. Adobe suite CS3, CS6).
So in this instance I might want to look up how to style/structure a navigation bar, gallery, or slideshow.
