My favorite typography design book is "Advertising Design and Typography" by Alex White (http://www.amazon.com/Advertising-Design-Typography-Alex-Whi...).

Has good visual examples and step by step thought processes for designing the type, layout, and visual effects that we place on text to convey an overall design message.

For running text itself -- as opposed to posters and advertisements -- try The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst (http://www.powells.com/biblio/1-9780881792065-1). It goes well with Tufte's books.

The Red Interactive Agency one on this list is way cool - just wait for a moment for the page to load and click and drag the statuette. If you make her run fast enough, she flies too.
