When reading this book, I had to resist the urge to flip through it and just admire the pictures and typefaces. That being said, there is some great content. Some of the most informative parts were about things you might take for granted as a reader. Spacing, dropcaps, why some fonts exude a certain mood or authority, and grids were all topics that stood out to me.
I've heard you have to know the rules before you break them, and this book definitely sets you up for rule-breaking. As for inspiration, there are some drawn typefaces in the beginning of the book that I really enjoyed.
