Ellen Lupton – Thinking with Type

There's a good one I've been meaning to check out that jaylarson linked here a while back, it's written by a woman, can't remember her name but it had a white cover with gray & red type. The whole thing was set in Caslon Pro I believe. It's similar to Bringhurst's book, but has more practical detail pointers about typography. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I guess at some point many books will add very little to it. Or nothing at all.
