Even if you don't consider yourself much of a designer you will certainly get a bunch of useful information out of this book. Anybody and everybody could use a little help making their Word Documents and other digital text be more readable.
Designing with Type even includes a selection of exercises to help you practice what you learn.
I learned so much from this book that when I got to the end I just kept reading all the way through the glossary item-by-item to make sure I absorbed every piece of information provided.

Incredibly well-organized and designed. Excellent balance between historical and practical information. Great examples. Only drawback may be it feels dated in terms of not really mentioning the challenges of typography in the 21st century (designing for multiple display types; online platforms requiring flexible designs and/or giving up some control; screen-based typefaces; etc.). Overall, a very solid primer that would be well-paired with a class.

I’ll be getting a physical copy so I can internalize this another time.

I had to get this book for my typography class and I found this to be very informative, and the background on some of the most used typefaces helped. But at times I found the book to be rather dry and boring.
