Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & 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.
