Here is a sampling of books in the ODU Library related to typography. The titles listed below are a mixture of history texts, books on various theories of how typography should be done, surveys of work with a type emphasis, and monographs on practitioners celebrated for their typography. In addition to the books listed below (and many other not included here), a wide assortment of books on graphic design and typography from my collection are placed on reserve behind the desk in the Art Library.
