Free fonts
Suggestions for links are welcome. The tricky part is to find a site that offers high quality free fonts. After all I cannot recommend using just about any free font after telling you on other part of this site to stay away from those do-it-yourself amateur fonts
Books
I quite like “The Non-Designer’s Type Book” by Robin Williams which is a clear and well written book about typography.
Musea
Allow me to be a bit of a chauvinist: the most beautiful museum there is about typography, book binding and printing is the Plantin-Moretus museum in Antwerp, Belgium. It is only a short tram ride from where I live.
