I recommend _The World in Perspective_ (subtitle: a directory of world map
projections) by F. Canters and H. Decleir, 181pp., John Wiley&Sons, 1989.
It contains a complete mathematical theory of map projections, a classification,
and all the formulae necessary to generate 50 generalized projections.

If only they published the code used to generate the sample maps as well
(sigh...)
