If you already have a solid holistic knowledge of typography, then you won't learn much from this book. Not to say you won't learn anything— there are interesting insights peppered throughout the book. That said, the book is worth owning just for the work which is striking and well-chosen. I own the hardcover but reccomend the paperback, it's less expensive and has a cooler cover.
Okay, it's not really 5 stars. But I'm in it, and on the same spread with Paula Scher, and that is pretty awesome in a typography nerd kind of way. To the rest of you I'm sure that's pretty incomprehensible. But I'll take what I can get.
An inspiring break from the computer.
