Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Edit & Students (Design Briefs)
Ellen Lupton
Princeton Architectural Press, 2004
A solid book for type - with a twinge of humor
I like this book a great deal. The next time I have a chance to use this in a class (to teach) I will. There are lots of good examples, the language is clear, and it's not too ethereal or esoteric. I think it's a great introduction to typography and laid out very well.

American Medical Association Boy's Guide to Becoming a Teen
American Medical Association, Kate Gruenwald Pfeifer
Jossey-Bass, 2006
Great book for "almost teens"
I got this book for my 10 year old son. It is a good book with all the "needed" information, but yet isn't too detailed on things they don't need to know about YET. It was very well written & I think it a good starting point for families w/young boys.
