+1 to Cumpiano for a basic guitar building bible.
Melvyn Hiscock's book is a pretty straight-forward no-nonsense book about building acoustics, but it's a little unconventional and it contains some opinions about structural mechanics that aren't really supported by, um, the known laws of physics. But it's also the only DIY book I know of that covers 12-string building.
How does design affect sound? Try Left Brain Lutherie if you're good at math and have a bit of an engineering background (and Air Columns & Tone Holes as supplemental reading to learn a bit more about the resonant properties of a body of air (aka the space inside your guitar)), or Ervin Somogyi's books if you feel like reading and digesting about 700 pages of essays on guitar building.
