It has helped me better understand how to achieve a certain feel associated with the typography I use when designing sites. Now we just need better/more universal font embedding so I can use the fonts I really want to. I read this last spring and really enjoyed it.

It's exciting that such a terrific book has finally been written that can serve as a lively introduction to type. We're now seeing a number of new developments in this area (John Kane's Type Primer, James Craig's web site, Designing With Type), but Lupton's is the broadest and most insightful. The syllabus and assignments she shares are well conceived as well. It was a great idea to pair the book with the web site, for every teacher who has spent hours developing their own audio visual materials to supplement text books.

Without having perused it fully, I'll fire it off to my typography students as it stands as pure vindication of everything I've told them. (I love the "Crimes Against Typography" animation.)
