Hi All,
I've just finished 'Grid Systems' by J Muller Brockman, and I want to learn more.
Can anyone recommend a good next step typography book - maybe concentrating more on letterforms than layouts?
:-)

i haven't read it, but i've looked at 'designing typefaces' by david earls a few times. as you suggest, most type books seem to be about layout.
i've heard that 'counterpunch' is really good. ray larabie calls it 'the most important book a type designer will ever read' on amazon.
that analogue books site - wow that looks like a really good shop. i wish the website lived up to the standard of the product list.
