I’ve only just started studying graphic design and this immense world of typography seems quite imposing and impenetrable. Does anybody have any recommendations for inspiring books/designers/artwork etc that can help convert me into a true typophile?

Hi Antonio, thanks for the link. Could you recommend a particular book just to get me started? Cheers.

Along with Matt’s suggestion: The Complete Manual of Typography by James Felici.

Thanks for your suggestions - I’m heading off to the library right now...
