Not a book but a site:

If you know the basics, scroll down to the bottom, maybe those lessons contain something new for you.

for some good free books - search materials from "Alan Belkin"

Elie Siegmeister wrote books, with exercises, for diatonic and chromatic harmony, two books. the former is pretty beginner-oriented.

there is a book that is a sort of compilation of 20th century devices, that would expose one to vocabulary and a sketch of prevalent practices, by Vincent Persichetti, '20th Century Harmony' that's something to chew on that isn't for beginners.

when i first started ,i bought inside the music by Dave Stewart,which taught me a lot,he taught you from common ordinary chords and tweak them ,manipulate them,even abuse them to the max!
But his chord voicings fit nicely on pad,not typical piano ones.
His web has section of dissecting arrangement of his songs but it's not updated often:)
