TYPE: A Visual History of Typefaces and Graphic Styles

I thought this book was so noteworthy. I have a little thing for graphic design and just had the chance to look through this comprehensive book on typefaces from 1628-1900 (V.1) and 1901-1938 (v. 2). To leaf through online, go here for vol. 1, and here for vol. 2.

I also found this cool design blog from Birdsong Gregory while searching for more info on the book. Check it out, blog.birdsonggregory.com.
