Any recommendations for books on grid layout systems for print?
Dean King pretty much nails it. All great books.
You might also consider The Design of Books by Adrian Wilson and (if you have a few hundred bucks to drop), Grid Systems in Graphic Design by Josef Muller-Brockman.

I second the Elam book. I also like Making and Breaking the Grid by Timothy Samara.

Ah yes, Hurlburt. Grid: A Modular System for the Design and Production of Newpapers, Magazines, and Books is a good overview and history, although a little dated now (1978).
