What are good ways to properly learn about typography? I have Bringhurst's book, but I'm thinking about learning about typography as a craft... are there good courses (non degree) which are worth thinking about?

Ideally I'd like to work as some kind of apprentice - learn skills from some grumpy bastard who's worked at a foundry all his life... but I'm not sure if this actually happens in real life.
