This is a collection of chords covered on the site so far - it'll be growing over time if all is well. Too make thing a bit easier you can pick a key and look up some of the family members there. I haven't arranged these yet but it's on the cards - each chord will be linked to it's page or something like that.
This little collection is not a comprehensive be all and end all of chords by any means, but there's plenty of interesting inversions to be picked up along the way - especially if your reasonably new to the guitar.
Many of these chords can be transposed or try a capo for added and instant key changes. As mentioned elsewhere for beginners, don't become too reliant on a capo, which although a powerful little tool can contribute towards lazy learning ;-) so stick with them-thar-barre chords. A B C D F G

I have a loan of an original 1971 copy of Chord Chemistry for about 15 years now ... I keep meaning to return it! Sorry Niall - one day I promise. (Think I'll get the chap a new one at this stage ;-).
This book leans towards the jazz side of things, but the theory and principles apply to all types of music. One chord is shown in many different ways. For example there might be a whole page of charts just the chord A9. There is a LOT of information contained in this book, so it's important to take it step by step and not get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of chord options available. Just take a few of your favorites a day at a time and before you know it you will have a huge library of chords to choose from while playing.
For the budding AND real serious student. Oh, and recommended by Steve Vai too!
