Twenty-two Tips on Typography

Twenty-two Tips on Typography was written by Enric Jardi. It can be found one the 7th floor of the Alkek Library.  It is a pretty small, skinny green book with white type on it that says the title.  It is not the actual cover because they replaced the soft one. The book says, "This is not a book for those that design letters; it is a book for those who have to use them." That's a pretty accurate description of the book. It gives the basic rules we learned in Type and also gives pretty good images to explain the harder things to understand. Jardi even includes little side facts about type.

A quick read since the breakdowns of the Twenty-two tips are really straight forward. Go look at it if you need a refresher from Type I... but then put it back because I want to check it out.
