Typeface: Classic Typography for Contemporary Design
This is a great book for learning about the various typographic classifications, their origins, and main typographical characteristics. What’s nice about this book is that they show how these classical typefaces are applied in real world projects. I highly recommend this book to first semester graphic design students.

There’s Nothing Funny About Design
I highly recommend this to anyone who considered themselves as a creative. Being a designer, I’m a sucker for visuals and rarely have time to sit down and read a book that has no images. I’m currently half way through this book and I really encourage designers to read about design instead of always looking at pretty pictures. Check out some other great design essays: here, here, and here.
