Dylan,

The book you're actually looking for is "Rocket Propulsion Elements", 7th 
edition, ISBN 0471326429. "Rocket Design Fundamentals" is an old title for 
the book, but it hasn't been used for several editions. I'm sorry that you 
had a hard time looking for the old title!

If you're looking at nozzles, you might also consider "The Rocket Motor", 
by Maurice J. Zucrow.

As always, I must state that I do not recommend compounding or formulating 
your own propellants: that is a very dangerous procedure that requires 
special training and safety equipment. Rocket propellants are by their 
nature toxic, explosive, or both and are not suitable for basement 
experimentation.
