This book is very informative for designers working with typography. It applies to all different skill levels, there is always something to learn and this book is great to refer back to. I would recommend this book to all graphic designers. This book does not explain everything, but it is good to have as a close reference.
Is this the second best book on type?

Few books share the cadre of enthusiastic readers that Robert Bringhurst created with his Elements of Typographic Style. But, Timothy Samara's Typography Workbook comes close, and, in some ways, is equally useful. (The two books complement each other quite well). Samara manages to combine the technical with the inspirational. His tutorials on typeface design and layout are compellingly written and informative, but where the Typography Workbook realkly shines is the glorious color reproductions of type in use. Nothing communicates like color illustrations, and the Typographic Workbook contains hundreds of samples. The Typography Workbook is an ideal choice for student or faculty alike. Text has been concisely edited, permitting large visuals to illustrate the points being made, as well as alternative approaches. Use it as an introductory text, a practical guide next to your computer, or for inspiration when needed.
