If you enjoyed reading about the quirky history of different typefaces, like this one, I can reccomend the book 'Just My Type' by Simon Garfield. Each chapter introduces a bit quirky of history of a type face designer along with details of the type they cremated and what it's good for.

- Daneel_ 11y agoThanks for the recommendation! A related book would be 'Type Matters!' by Jim Williams - it's actually suggested for me at the bottom of the 'Just my Type' page. It's a fantastic book on typography, layout, font detail and suggested practices for legibility. I own it and would highly recommend it, especially at the price on Amazon (it's over $60 in Australia). http://www.amazon.com/Type-Matters-Jim-Williams/dp/1858945674 http://www.amazon.com/Type-Matters-Jim-Williams/dp/185894567...
