Amazon.com for Dummies 15 reviews
Mara Friedman

Obviously a must for all amazon reviewers, commenters and posters (or posers)
+ Ready Reference
+ Books information is very relavant .

Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students (Design Briefs) 48 reviews
Ellen Lupton
Princeton Architectural Press, 2004
A solid book for type - with a twinge of humor
+ Fun and interesting
+ Won't turn you into a master
I like this book a great deal. The next time I have a chance to use this in a class (to teach) I will. There are lots of good examples, the language is clear, and it's not too ethereal or esoteric. I think it's a great introduction to typography and laid out very well.

Going Visual really inspired me, as an entrepreneur. I'm sure like most people I had no idea of the possibilities held within a simple digital camera. Reading this book opened a new world of possibilities. I don't go anywhere without a camera now.
