I would like to learn the basics of type design and I hope to design some typefaces of my own someday. I'm trying to decide between the following books...

- "The Elements of Typographic Style" by Robert Bringhurst
- "A Type Primer" by John Kane
- "Type and Typograpy" by Phil Baines and Andrew Haslam

What would some of you recommend? I'm thinking Bringhurst's book is the most thorough and comprehensive of the three...
