For anybody who cares about getting typography right (and that should be all designers), the book Type and Typography By Phil Baines and Andrew Haslam is a must. It is an essential handbook explaining the whos whys and hows of typography with plenty of illustrated examples and diagrams.
As it says on the cover: "This book offers an overview of the bewildering variety of typefaces available, and a practical guide to using type as a meaningful element of design." It covers everything from the history of typography to how to use type in motion. I just wish I had known about this book in the first year for the typography project!
