Title: Very good overview of basics of type
Product review: Sure, you can find newer books that will walk you through software to do typesetting, but this book has some of the timeless information to introduce you to what type is all about. It has some historic information about fonts, info on leading and layouts and so on.I found this book at the library, and found it informative enough that I chose to buy it. The information did help me decide which fonts to use for a poetry book I put together. I recommend it especially for beginners, or someone who wants an in depth overview.
