Would like to find some good books on playing d4 as white, and with insight on various lines. Perhaps explaining the general ideas involved. Any suggestions? Thanks!

More Basic Chess Openings by Gabor Kallai is an old book but will supply your openings needs.

@OP When your ratings is 1600 elo Fide up already, I suggest Fritz Power Books.

(Last century, with not much in the way of sample games.)

Maybe consider The Kaufman Repertoire for Black & White by GM Larry Kaufman (2012).
