Designing With Type by Irene Korol Scala, James Craig, William Bevington (2006, Paperback)

It's a book I needed for class so I didn't know what to expect. If you are studying Typography this is the book you would want to read to better understand type and how it is used. It goes through all the available fonts and gives you an idea when they can be used, where they came from, and why they are named the names they are. Gives you a little history too.

Pages are in small print but plenty of visuals for text. The print is only found at the spine of each page and the rest is a graphic design so you can move through the pages pretty quickly.
