The Designing Visual Interfaces book by Mullet and Sano has some really good reviews. It's available on Amazon, but it's pricey.
Tufte is, of course, one of the legends in the field, but his work focuses on quantitative display and interface rather than general user interaction. He does, however, challenges assumptions. He's provocative, and that's what's needed. The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman is also provocative and informative. Don't assume that you don't know anything about UI design! You probably _do_ know bad design when you see it. Think about the common problems in bad design, and then try to avoid them. Do lots of mockups, and try them out on your friends.
