I finished reading my 1st book on Typography!  "Thinking with Type" by Ellen Lupton. The book was $25, and an easy read.  It's broken into 3 chapters; Letter, Text, and Grid. Each subtopic was no more than 4-5 pages but jammed packed with lots of examples. Good examples, bad examples, they are all there. I was surprised to find out some typography teachers don't have a book requirement. I'm glad mine did. I notice things when looking at posters and flyers now for example. I'm paying more attention to layouts and their use of space on everything now.  This class, with the help of this book has totally changed the "type" of detail I'm paying attention to.
